1. A circuit interrupting device comprising:

  • a housing;

    a phase conductive path and a neutral conductive path each disposed at least partially within said housing between a line side and a load side, said phase conductive path terminating at a first connection capable of being electrically connected to a source of electricity, a second connection capable of conducting electricity to at least one load and a third connection capable of conducting electricity to at least one user accessible load, and said neutral conductive path terminating at a first connection capable of being electrically connected to a source of electricity, a second connection capable of providing a neutral connection to said at least one load and a third connection capable of providing a neutral connection to said at least one user accessible load;

    a circuit interrupter disposed within said housing and configured to cause electrical discontinuity in said phase and neutral conductive paths between said line side and said load side upon the occurrence of a predetermined condition;

    said circuit interrupter further comprising a differential transformer coupled to said phase conductive path and said neutral conductive path;

    a multilayer capacitor chip coupled between said differential transformer and at least one input terminal of an integrated chip; and

    a reset button disposed at least partially within said housing.
