ABSTRACT:
A residual current device (RCD) senses a differential current flowing in A.C. mains supply live and neutral conductors and disconnects the supply from a load when the differential current exceeds a predetermined level. The device further includes a circuit for detecting a double grounded neutral fault in which current flows in an N-E loop formed by a double grounded neutral. The current is sensed as a differential current and detected as a correspondence between causing the current to flow and sensing the differential current.
