[0031] It should be noted that leakage detection subassembly and electric arc detection subassembly are connected with circuit board 2 through independent signal lines respectively, instead of connecting leakage detection subassembly and electric arc detection subassembly through the same signal line, in order to make MCU processor 3 can know the fault type (leakage fault or arc fault) while receiving the fault signal, and then know the fault type before circuit breaker 6 trips, and can carry out the repair operation according to the fault type in the tripping state, improve the safety.

[0032] In addition, the tripping signal is digital signal of 0 or 1, when no fault arc is detected and the leakage amount does not reach the preset leakage threshold, the digital signal is 0, when fault arc is detected or the leakage amount reaches the preset leakage threshold, the digital signal is 1.

[0033] In some embodiments, referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 As shown, the middle part of socket body 1 is provided with mounting slot for embedding circuit board 2, and the periphery of socket body 1 is provided with threaded hole 11.
