RV4145A — Low-Power Ground Fault Interrupter Features Description No Potentiometer Required Direct Interface to Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR) Supply Voltage Derived from AC Line – 26 V Shunt Adjustable Sensitivity Grounded Neutral Fault Detection Meets U.L. 943 Standards 450 μA Quiescent Current Ideal for 120 V or 220 V Systems The RV4145A is a low-power controller for AC outlet ground fault interrupters. These devices detect hazardous grounding conditions, such as equipment (connected to opposite phases of the AC line) in contact with a pool of water and open circuits the line before a harmful or lethal shock occurs. A 26 V Zener shunt regulator, an operational amplifier, and an SCR driver are contained internally. With the addition of two sense transformers, a bridge rectifier, an SCR, a relay, and a few additional components; the RV4145A can detect and protect against both hot-wireto-ground and neutral-wire-to-ground faults. The simple layout and conventional design ensure ease of application and long-term reliability. Figure 1.

VREF is at ½ VS and is used as a reference to create an artificial ground of +13 V at the operational amplifier non-inverting input. Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR) Driver The SCR must have a high dV/dt rating to ensure that line noise (generated by noisy appliances, such as a drill motor) does not falsely trigger the SCR. The SCR must have a gate-drive requirement of less than 200 μA. CF is a noise filter capacitor that prevents narrow pulses from firing the SCR. Figure 3 shows a three-wire 120 V AC outlet GFI application using an RV4145A. Fault signals from the sense transformer are AC coupled into the input and are amplified according to the following equation: The relay solenoid should have a 3 ms or less response time to meet the UL 943 timing requirement. Sense Transformers and Cores (1) The sense and grounded neutral transformer cores are usually fabricated using high permeability laminated steel rings. Their single-turn primary is created by passing the line and neutral wires through the center of the core. The secondary is usually 200 to 1500 turns. where V7 is the RMS voltage at pin 7 relative to pin 3, RSENSE is the value of the feedback resistor connected from pin 7 to pin 1, ISENSE is the fault current (in amps) RMS, and N is the turns ratio of the transformer. When V7 exceeds ±7.2 V relative to pin 3, the SCR trigger output goes high and fires the external SCR. Magnetic Metals Corporation www.magmet.com is a full line suppliers of ring cores and transformers designed specifically for GFI applications. The formula for V7 is approximate because it does not include the sense transformer characteristics. Two-Wire Application Circuit Grounded neutral fault detection is accomplished when a short or fault closes a magnetic path between the sense transformer and the grounded neutral transformer. The resultant AC coupling closes a positive feedback path around the op amp, and the op amp oscillates. When the peaks of the oscillation voltage exceed the SCR trigger comparator thresholds, the SCR output goes high. Figure 4 shows the diagram of a two-wire 120 V AC outlet GFI circuit using an RV4145A. This circuit is not designed to detect grounded neutral faults. For this reason, the grounded neutral transformer and capacitors C3 and C4 of Figure 3 are not used. Shunt Regulator The RLINE limits the current into the shunt regulator; 220 V applications must substitute a 47 k 2 W resistor. In addition to supplying power to the IC, the shunt regulator creates internal reference voltages. Operational Amplifier RSENSE is a feedback resistor that sets gain and, therefore sensitivity to normal faults. To adjust RSENSE, apply the desired fault current (a difference in current of 5 mA is the UL 943 standard) then adjust RSENSE upward until the SCR activates. A fixed resistor can be used for RSENSE because the resultant ±15% variation in sensitivity meets UL’s 943 4-6 mA specification window. The roll-off frequency is greater than the grounded neutral fault oscillation frequency to preserve loop gain for oscillation (which is determined by the inductance of the 200:1 transformer and C4). The sensitivity to grounded neutral faults is adjusted by changing the frequency of oscillation. Increasing the frequency reduces the sensitivity by reducing the loop gain of the positive feedback circuit. As frequency increases, the signal becomes attenuated and the loop gain decreases. With the values shown in Figure 3, the circuit detects a grounded neutral with resistance of 2 Ω or less. The input to the operational amplifier is protected from over-voltage by back-to-back diodes. © 2004 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation RV4145A • Rev. 1.0.6 www.fairchildsemi.com 5 RV4145A — Low Power Ground Fault Interrupter Principles of Operation RV4145A — Low Power Ground Fault Interrupter Figure 3.
