Leakage current protection device and electrical appliances employing the same

A leakage current protection device, comprising:

• a first housing;
• an input assembly;
• an output assembly;
• a second housing, removably affixed to the first housing by a connecting assembly, and configured to cooperate with the first housing to form a holding chamber;
• a leakage current protection module, disposed within the holding chamber and electrically coupled to the input assembly and output assembly, the leakage current protection module including:
• a switch mechanism electrically coupled between the input assembly and the output assembly and configured to control an electrical connection between the input assembly and the output assembly;
• and
• circuit components configured to detect a leakage current signal and to drive the switch mechanism to disconnect the electrical connection in response to detecting the leakage current signal;
• and
• a cover plate, affixed to the first housing and/or the second housing and covering the connecting assembly,
• wherein the second housing has at least one first through-hole, and the cover plate includes at least one second through-hole corresponding in position to the first through-hole, wherein one end of the input assembly is electrically coupled to the leakage current protection module and disposed in the holding chamber, and another end of the input assembly extends through the at least one first through-hole and the at least one second through-hole and extends outside of the cover plate.
