Abstract
Power outlets adapted for installation within an enclosure are provided. Power outlets are provided having a safety interlock adapted to prevent the creation of a hazardous condition within the enclosure as a result of the continued operation of an electrical device within the enclosed space. The safety interlock may include current limiting circuitry and hardware, hazard sensing devices interconnected with such current limiting circuitry and hardware or other circuit breaker switches, and combinations of such safety interlocks.
Claims24
A safety interlock power outlet assembly comprising:
- at least one power outlet;
- and
- at least one safety interlock having at least one sensor capable of detecting at least one hazardous condition within the environment, the at least one safety interlock being adapted to prevent the flow of electrical current between the at least one power source and the at least one power outlet upon detection of one or more of the at least one hazardous conditions;
- wherein the safety interlock and outlet are collocated within a single standard junction box.
