Abstract
An electrical wiring system includes an electrical wire and an electrical safety device. The electrical wire includes at least one electrifiable conductor, first and second insulating layers formed on opposing sides of the at least one electrifiable conductor, first and second return conductors formed on the first and second insulating layers respectively, such that the at least one electrifiable conductor is at least substantially entrapped by the first and second return conductors, third and fourth insulating layers respectively formed on the first and second return conductors, and first and second grounding conductors respectively formed on the third and fourth insulating layers. The electrical safety device is coupled to the electrical wire and is operable to test the electrical wire for at least one of a short or a miswire. The electrical safety device tests the electrical wire prior to the electrification of the electrical wire or subsequent to the electrification of the electrical wire.
