The core component of the leakage protection module usually includes the zero sequence transformer, the control circuit board (integrated signal amplification element). When the circuit is normally connected and has no leakage, the firewire and the zero line current size are equal, the direction is opposite, the zero sequence transformer internal magnetic field cancels out each other, will not induct effective secondary current; when the circuit has the leakage, the firewire and the zero line current are unbalanced, the zero sequence transformer will induct the secondary current proportional to the leakage current at this moment. The secondary current is transmitted to the control circuit board, is amplified through the integrated amplification element, when the signal reaches the preset protection threshold, will trigger the trip of the circuit breaker to produce the action, finally controls the circuit breaker to cut off the circuit, realizes the leakage protection function.

If the length of the conductive connecting line is too long, the conductive connecting line is easy to bend after splicing, and if the length is too short, the movement range between the leakage detection unit and the circuit breaker unit group is limited, which affects the splicing of the shell part. In addition, when wiring, the screwdriver needs to be inserted downward through the top opening of the circuit breaker unit group to tighten the connecting post, and in combination with the disclosed Figure 1 、 Figure 3 It can be known that the top opening is always exposed during product use, which affects the appearance of the product and also has certain safety hazards.
