(参考图 1和图 2)。
接地零线侦测的灵敏度随零线线圈匝数和C2, C3值而变
化。
FAN4147为GFCI控制器,专门用于交流接地故障断路
器。在交流电源的正半周,内置整流器整流。内置12V并
联稳压器采用了精密温度补偿带隙基准。精密的基准电路
与精密的感应放大器的组合,提供了精确的接地故障容
差。使外部元件的参数选择范围更广泛和更低廉。由于所
需静态电流较低,可以采用高值的外部串联电阻
(R1 ),大大降低功耗。12V并联稳压器为感应放大器
(A1)的非反相输入端(AC接地参考)提供参考电压,
并且给延时定时器(T1)、比较器(C1 & C2)和晶闸管
驱动器提供偏压。
RSET 电阻的计算
AmpOut的信号必须超过窗口比较器的阈值电压VTH ,持
续时间超过延时定时器时间。因此:
VTH=IFAULT x 1.41 x RSET x COS(2 x (t/2P)) / N
(1)
RSET=(VTH x N) / (1.41 x IFAULT x COS( x t/P))
(2)
其中:
感应变压器的次级绕组连接至引脚4(VREF),电阻RIN直
接直流耦合到感应放大器的反相输入端引脚5(VFB )。
反馈电阻RSET 将感应变压器的次级绕组电流在引脚 6
(AmpOut)处转换成电压。该电压与内置窗口比较器(C1
和C2 )进行比较,如果AmpOut的电压超过阈值电压+/VTH,窗口比较器就会触发内部延时定时器。窗口比较器
的输出必须在定时器t1时段保持高电平。如果窗口比较器
的输出为低电平,内置延时定时器将开始复位。如果在t1
脉冲结束时,窗口比较器输出一直为高电平,则晶闸管驱
动器启动电流源I1,禁止Q1。然后电流源I1开启外部晶闸
管,给电磁阀通电,打开连接负载的接触开关,从而消除
有害接地故障。窗口比较器允许检测正的或负的IFAULT 信
号,不依赖于电源电压的相位。

感应变压器通常都有一个由复合钢环或者固体铁氧体制成
的环形磁芯。一般情况下,变压器次级要求由40#线在该
环形磁芯上绕800匝至1500匝。变压器初级通常为一到两
匝,交流火线和零线穿过该环形磁芯中央。当接地故障出
现时,流入火线与零线的电流出现偏差。通过将初级差动
电流除以初级与次级之间的匝比就可得到了变压器的次级
电流。
由于感应线圈直接连接到感应放大器的反馈端,VOS偏置
会引入一个Ifault阈值误差。误差的计算方法为:
T
说明:

围高达30%,才能获得所需的Ifault触发阈值
VOS触发阈值误差的计算
%Error=
100 x (VOS x RSET) / (RIN + RLDC + RLAC) / VTH
(3)
where:
VOS
= +/-450V(最坏情况);
= +/-150V(典型值);
零线在零线负载侧接地时出现接地零线故障。
根据接地零线的阻抗,该故障令感应线圈侦测到更低的接
地故障电流。地对负载对零线故障的侦测应根据正向反馈
原理。出现这种情况时,感应和零线线圈双向耦合,可以
在感应放大器周围产生正向反馈路径。这种正向反馈使得
感应放大器出现共振。峰值共振电压超过晶闸管触发阈值
时,将启用内置延时定时器。由于放大器输出信号跨越窗
口比较器的触发阈值的典型值为6kHz,延迟定时器将在故
障/无故障侦测之间转换。如果启用了晶闸管驱动器,可
确定故障/无故障侦测时间延迟。

The FAN4147 is a low-power Ground Fault Interrupter
(GFI) controller for detecting hazardous current paths to
ground and ground-to-neutral faults. The FAN4147
application circuit opens the load contacts before a
harmful shock occurs.

Internally, the FAN4147 contains a diode rectifier,
precision bandgap 12V shunt regulator, precision lowVOS offset-sense amplifier, time delay noise filter,
window-detection comparators, and an SCR driver.
With a minimum number of external components, the
FAN4147 detects and protects against a hot-wire-toground fault and a neutral-line-to-neutral-load short.
The minimal components and the small SuperSOT™
package allow for a small-form-factor, low-cost solution.
The FAN4147 circuitry has a built-in rectifier and shunt
regulator that operates with a low quiescent current.
This allows for a high-value, low-wattage-series supply
resistor. The internal temperature-compensated shunt
regulator, sense amplifier, and bias circuitry provide for
precision ground-fault detection. The low-VOS offsetsense amplifier allows direct coupling of the sense coil
to the amplifier’s feedback signal. This eliminates the
large 50/60Hz AC-coupling capacitor. The internal delay
filter rejects high-frequency noise spikes common with
inductive loads. This decreases false nuisance tripping.
The internal SCR driver is temperature compensated
and designed to satisfy the current requirements for a
wide selection of external SCRs.
The minimum number of external components and the
6-pin SuperSOT™ package enable a low-cost, compact
design and layout.

oscillate. When the peak oscillation voltage exceeds the
SCR trigger threshold, the internal delay timer is
enabled. Since the amplifier’s output signal is crossing
the window comparator’s trip threshold typically at
6KHz, the delay timer alternates between detection of a
fault/no fault. The ratio of the fault/no-fault detection
time interval determines if the SCR driver is enabled.
(Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2.)
The FAN4147 is a GFCI controller for AC ground-fault
circuit interrupters. The internal rectifier circuit is
supplied from the AC line during the positive half cycle
of the AC line voltage. The internal 12V shunt regulator
uses a precision temperature-compensated bandgap
reference. The combination of precision reference
circuitry and precision sense amplifier provides for an
accurate ground-fault tolerance. This allows for
selection of external components with wider, lower-cost,
parameter variations. Due to the low quiescent current,
a high-value external series resistor (R1) can be used,
which reduces the maximum power wattage required.
The 12V shunt regulator generates the reference
voltage for the sense amplifier’s (A1) non-inverting input
(AC ground reference) and supplies the bias for the
delay timer (T1), comparators (C1 & C2), and SCR driver.
The sensitivity of the grounded neutral detection is
changed by the neutral coil turns and C2, C3 values.
RSET Resistor Calculation
The AmpOut signal must exceed the window
comparator’s VTH threshold voltage for longer than the
delay timer. Therefore:
The secondary winding of the sense transformer is
connected to pin 4 (VREF) and to a resistor RIN directly
DC connected to the inverting input of the sense
amplifier at pin 5 (VFB). The feedback resistor (RSET)
converts the sense transformer’s secondary current to a
voltage at pin 6 (AmpOut). This voltage is compared to
the internal window comparator (C1 & C2) and, when the
AmpOut voltage exceeds the +/-VTH threshold voltage,
the window comparator triggers the internal delay timer.
The output of the window comparator must stay HIGH
for the duration of the t1 timer. If the window
comparator’s output goes LOW, the internal delay timer
starts a reset cycle. If the window comparator’s output is
still HIGH at the end of the t1 pulse, the SCR driver
enables the current source I1 and disables Q1. The
current source I1 then enables the external SCR, which
energizes the solenoid, opens the contact switches to
the load, and removes the hazardous ground fault. The
window comparator allows for detection of a positive or
negative IFAULT signal independent from the phase of
the line voltage.

may need to be adjusted by up to 30% to obtain the
desired Ifault trip threshold.
VOS Trip Threshold Error Calculation
The sense transformer typically has a toroidal core
made of laminated steel rings or solid ferrite material.
The secondary of the transformer is typically 800 to
1500 turns of #40 wire wound through the toroid. The
primary is typically one to two turns made by passing
the AC hot and neutral wires through the center of the
toroid. When a ground fault exists, a difference exists
between the current flowing in hot and neutral wires.
The primary difference current, divided by the primaryto-secondary turns ratio, is the current that flows
through the secondary wire of the transformer.
Since the sense coil is DC connected to the feedback of
the sense amplifier, the VOS offset introduces an Ifault
threshold error. This error can be calculated as:
%Error=
100 x (VOS x RSET) / (RIN + RLDC + RLAC) / VTH
(3)
where:
VOS
= +/-450μV (worse case);
= +/-150μV (typical);
A grounded neutral condition occurs when the neutralline is grounded at the neutral-load side.
RSET
= 511KΩ;
RIN
= 470Ω (typical value);
Depending on the resistance of the grounded neutral
connection, this condition causes the sense coil to
detect a lower ground fault current. The detection of a
ground-to-load-neutral fault relies on the principle of
positive feedback. When this occurs, the sense and
neutral coils are mutually coupled, which produces a
positive feedback path around the sense amplifier. This
positive feedback causes the sense amplifier to
RLDC
= 75Ω (sense coil secondary DC resistance);
