ABSTRACT:
False ac signals produced by a noise suppression capacitor across a switch applying a switched ac line voltage signal to a logic input of a microprocessor in an electrical apparatus such as, for example, a contactor or circuit breaker, are phase shifted with respect to a true ac input by inserting two series resistors, and a diode shunting one resistor, between the switch and the logic input. This creates a larger window in which to discriminate between the zero crossings of the true and false ac signals.
