www.fairchildsemi.com RV4145A Low Power Ground Fault Interrupter Features • • • • No potentiomenter required Direct interface to SCR Supply voltage derived from AC line – 26V shunt Adjustable sensitivity • • • • Grounded neutral fault detection Meets U.L. 943 standards 450µA quiescent current Ideal for 120V or 220V systems Description 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. Contained internally are a 26V zener shunt regulator, an op amp, and an SCR driver. WIth the addition of two sense transformers, a bridge rectifier, an SCR, a relay, and a few additional components, the RV4145A will detect and protect against both hot wire to ground and neutral wire to ground faults. The simple layout and conventional design ensure ease of application and long-term reliability.

VREF is at 1/2VS and is used as a reference to create an artifical ground of +13V at the op amp noninverting input. Figure 1 shows a three-wire 120V 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: V7 = RSENSE × ISENSE/N 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 plus or minus 7.2V relative to pin 3 the SCR Trigger output will go high and fire the external SCR. The formula for V7 is approximate because it does not include the sense transformer characteristics. 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 therefore the op amp oscillates. When the peaks of the oscillation voltage exceed the SCR trigger comparator thresholds, the SCR output will go high. Shunt Regulator RLINE limits the current into the shunt regulator; 220V applications will require substituting a 47kΩ 2W resistor. In addition to supplying power to the IC, the shunt regulator creates internal reference voltages (see above). Operational Amplifier RSENSE is a feedback resistor that sets gain and therefore sensitivity to normal faults. To adjust RSENSE, follow this procedure: apply the desired fault current (a difference in current of 5mA is the UL 943 standard). Adjust RSENSE upward until the SCR activates. A fixed resistor can be used for RSENSE, since the resultant ±15% variation in sensitivity will meet UL’s 943 4-6mA specification window. 4 RV4145A The roll-off frequency is greater than the grounded neutral fault oscillation frequency, in order to preserve loop gain for oscillation (which is determined by the inductance of the 200:1 transformer and C4). The senstivity 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 the circuit will detect a grounded neutral fault having resistance of 2Ω or less. The input to the op amp are protected from overvoltage by back-toback diodes. SCR Driver The SCR used 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. Also, the SCR must have a gate drive requirement of less than 200µA. CF is a noise filter capacitor that prevents narrow pulses from firing the SCR. The relay solenoid used should have a 3ms or less response time in order to meet the UL 943 timing requirement. Sense Transformers and Cores 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 its core. The secondary is usually from 200 to 1500 turns.
