Abstract:
In some embodiments, a system including an electronic device. The electronic device includes an electric power input configured to receive an electric power signal and has an input line terminal and an input neutral terminal. In some embodiments, the electric power input can also have an input ground terminal. The electronic device includes a metal oxide varistor protection module configured to protect at least one of the system or the electronic device. The electronic device includes a ground detection module configured to indicate the presence of an electric ground. The electronic device includes an electric power output having an output line terminal and an output neutral terminal. In some embodiments, the electric power output can also have an output ground terminal. The electric power input, the metal oxide varistor protection module, the ground detection module, and the electric power output are electrically coupled in series with each other. Other embodiments are disclosed.
