ABSTRACT:
In an integrated circuit for a ground fault circuit interrupting device, a power supply voltage regulator is utilized to turn on a double grounded neutral excitation oscillator and to inhibit trip initiating thyristor triggering while the half-wave rectified supply voltage is in regulation and, as the supply voltage goes into regulation near the beginning of each alternate half-cycle, condition a comparator to issue a thyristor triggering pulse if an integrated fault signal voltage has achieved an established trip threshold level.
