Abstract
A system and method for controlling connection of an electrical outlet to a power source so as to exclude the human body model. A first signal is generated and fed to the outlet through an outlet control device; feedback from a load at the outlet is detected. The load detector outputs a second signal to an outlet control device. The outlet is connected to the power source in accordance with the second signal. The outlet is not connected to the power source in the absence of a load, or if the detected load is consistent with the human body model.
