Abstract

The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a leakage current interruption formation in a refrigerator door for interrupting a leakage current of the refrigerator door. According to the present invention, a ground line of a refrigerator main body is connected to a door hinge. In addition, there is a feature in that a diode is connected between the door hinge and the ground line of the refrigerator main body. Therefore, the leakage current flowing into the door hinge from the door of the refrigerator can be interrupted and static electricity generated in the door can also flow to the refrigerator main body.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A leakage current interruption formation in a refrigerator, comprising: 
 a ground line formed in power cord of a refrigerator circuit and connected to a main body of the refrigerator;    a door hinge formed in the refrigerator main body, the door hinge being a structure for opening and closing a refrigerator door; and    a unidirectional switching element formed between the ground line and the door hinge for interrupting a leakage current generated from the refrigerator main body.    
   
   
       2 . The leakage current interruption formation as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the unidirectional switching element comprises a diode.
