ABSTRACT:
The sensing and trip circuit electronics of a ground fault interrupter of the differential current transformer type is, in a two pole system, supplied with power from each of the line conductors through separate solenoid trip coils and zener diodes that together provide good transient suppression while the zener diodes together provide full wave rectification for the voltage supplied to the electronics.
