Today, window/wall air conditioners and some portable heaters come with a special plug with the test and reset buttons. The literature usually refers to this as an LCDI, which I take to mean something about leakage current.

Is this device a GFCI, and AFCI, or something different than either of those??

Thanks,

Thanks very much! Now, I have an interesting dilemma. I have a portable heater with something like that, but it is a 2-wire cord, not a 3 wire! I wonder what's up with that!

I'm not sure what your dilemma is? An AFCI, GFCI, or LCDI do not require a ground to operate.

Just another device to give you a false sense of security.
