Electrical fire risks and
consumer safety are major concerns driving regulators worldwide to implement more stringent
electrical code and
enforcement. While there are many commercially available protective devices available, none affords total protection, and they are made and classified only to protect circuits from specific or limited number of faults. This invention is about an apparatus,
system and method for protection of electrical circuits and consumers from literally all known electrical faults in
Direct Current (DC) and
Alternating Current (AC) single and multi-phase systems such as and including Arc Faults, Ground and Leakage Faults, Surge, Overload,
Short Circuit, Glowing Connections, Miswired Connections,
overvoltage, undervoltage and Phase-Loss. Said apparatus,
system and method come in the form of or in a housing as a
Circuit Breaker, Receptacle, Convenience Outlet, Attachment Plug, Equipment Controller, a circuit, or a
system integrated with another system, device or apparatus.
