ABSTRACT:
An earth fault detection circuit employs a differential current transformer and burden resistor to sample circuit current for potential earth fault current. A second order low pass filter circuit is employed to filter out harmonics within the protected circuit and a time delay circuit is used to insure the occurrence of a true earth fault leakage condition. A circuit with an operational amplifier is used to create a symmetric power supply for the rest of the circuits from a full wave rectified AC source.
