Abstract
A multiple electrical outlet strip also includes jacks for connection of accessory electrical devices to ground. A banana-type jack, or other suitable socket, is accessible from outside the casing of the multiple electrical outlet strip, and is electrically connected to a ground lead within the casing. A number of electrical receptacles are mounted by the casing, also accessible from outside the casing, and have live, neutral and ground terminals, all connected to a three wire conductor for carrying electrical current to the casing. Circuitry also may be mounted within the casing, connected to the ground lead, for sensing continuity to ground. A circuit breaker may be provided for selectively allowing or interrupting the supply of current from the three wire conductor to the receptacles within the casing.
