Abstract
An automatic disconnector for a plug includes an ejector for ejecting the plug from an outlet socket; a sensor for sensing current flow through the plug and for sensing a substantial cessation of the current flow. Upon occurrence of a substantial cessation of current flow, the ejector operates to eject the plug from the outlet. The disconnector is optionally integrally formed with the plug or with the outlet socket. An optional keyed plug is utilizable for selectively enabling the disconnector.
