Abstract

The present invention relates to a terminal block having a leakage current restricting function, in which leakage current is restricted by using differences in the areas of conductive electrodes connecting the ends of a single-phase three line input side phase voltage line (R line), neutral line (N line) and ground line (G) with the output side phase voltage line (R line), neutral line (N line) and ground line (G), respectively, and thus electric shock accidents can be more effectively prevented.
