ABSTRACT:
A bridge circuit including an eight-leg full wave rectifier bridge connected to rectify the phase and neutral currents produced by three wye-connected current transformers magnetically coupled to respective phases of a three-phase electric power circuit, and used with one or more resistive elements to provide instantaneous D.C. voltage outputs at least once every current cycle, proportional to the highest and/or lowest peak phase current and to the peak neutral or ground current of the power circuit, for operating or preventing the operation of a circuit interrupter in the power circuit being measured.
