LOW POWER GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER

 

 

DESCRIPTION

 

The UTC GF4141 is a low power controller for AC receptacle

ground fault circuit interrupters. These devices detect hazardous

current paths to ground and ground to neutral faults. The circuit

interrupter then disconnects the load from the line before a

harmful or lethal shock occurs. It is powered only during the

positive half period of the line voltage, but can sense current

faults independent of its phase relative to the line voltage. The

simple layout and minimum component count insure ease of

application and long term reliability.
