ABSTRACT:
Improved shock and electrical-fire protection circuits provide line-to-ground plus "line-to-line" fault protection in a power system, and monitor conditions after protective interruption to safely provide automatic restoration of current when the fault is cleared. Both full-wave and half-wave circuits employ less expensive component combinations, including rectifiers and electromagnetic relays, to carry and switch load current. Protection is provided against the possibility of semi-conductor failure and the hazards associated with severed power conductors. A specialized resistance network fault detector for sensitizing enclosures, a hybrid zero sequence current transformer system and polyphase supply provide additional features.
