I have a customer that wants a GFCI type device that if the power goes out the GFCI will trip and require manual reset once the power is restored. I have seen them advertised but can't remember the name.

Anyone know what I am looking for?

I have not seen a standard GFCI but I used to own an adapter with a gfci cord cap that needed resetting when the power was out. Someone recently was looking for on of these on one of the forums. I'll see if I can pull it up.

Most tablesaw manufacturers make an optional magnetic switch that will open on a power outage and not close on power restoration.
