Leakage current protection device employing a pivoting actuator in the trip assembly

A leakage current protection device, comprising:

• a shell;
• and
• a core assembly disposed within the shell, wherein the core assembly includes a control circuit board, a trip assembly disposed on the control circuit board, and an input end and an output end connected to the trip assembly;
• wherein the trip assembly includes a first driving member movable linearly in a first direction and a second driving member pivotable around a pivotal support axis, wherein the first driving member and the second driving member are mechanically engaged with each other and move together with each other, wherein the second driving member has two driving points configured to move in a second direction as the second driving member pivots, the second direction being non-parallel to the first direction, and wherein movements of the two driving points of the second driving member in the second direction are operable to electrically connect or disconnect the input end and the output end.
