    GV4145-Q Preliminary LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

    LOW POWER GROUND FAULT


    INTERRUPTER

     DESCRIPTION
    The UTC GV4145-Q is a low power controller for AC outlet
    ground fault interrupters. These devices detect hazardous grounding
    conditions, such as equipment (connected to opposite phases of the
    AC line) in contact with a pool of water and open circuits the line
    before a harmful or lethal shock occurs.
    Contained internally are a 26V zener shunt regulator, an opamp,
    and an SCR driver. With the addition of two sense transformers, a
    bridge rectifier, an SCR, a relay, and a few additional components,
    the UTC GV4145-Q will detect and protect against both hot wire to
    ground and neutral wire to ground faults. Ease of application and
    long-term reliability.

     FEATURES
    * No potentiomenter required
    * Direct interface to SCR
    * Supply voltage derived from AC line-26V shunt
    * Adjustable sensitivity

    GV4145-Q Preliminary LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

     PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

    PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
    The 26V shunt regulator voltage generated by the string of zener diodes is divided into three reference
    voltages:3/4Vs, 1/2Vs, and 1/4Vs. VREF is at 1/2Vs and is used as a reference to create an artifical ground of +13V at
    the op amp noniverting input.
    Figure 1 shows a three-wire 120V AC outlet GFI application using an UTC GV4145-Q, Fault signals from the
    sense transformer are AC coupled into the input and are amplified according to the following equation:
    V7=RSENSE×ISENSE/N
    Where V7 is the RMS voltage at pin7 relative to pin 3, RSENSE is the value of the feedback resistor connected from
    pin 7 to pin 1, ISENSE is the fault current in amps RMS and N is the turns ratio of the transformer. When V7 exceeds
    plus or minus 7.2V relative to pin 3 the SCR Trigger output will go high and fire the external SCR.
    The formula for V7 is approximate because it does not include the sense transformer characteristics.
    Grounded neutral fault detection is accomplished when a short or fault closes a magnetic path between the sense
    transformer and the grounded neutral transformer. The resultant AC coupling closes a positive feedback path around
    the op amp, and therefore the op amp oscillates. When the peaks of the oscillation voltage exceed the SCR trigger
    comparator thresholds, the SCR output will go high.
    SHUNT REGULATOR
    RLINE limits the current into the shunt regulator; 220V applications will require substituting a 47kΩ 2W resistor. In
    addition to supplying power to the IC, the shunt regulator creates internal reference voltages( see above).
    OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER
    RSENSE is a feedback resistor that sets gain and therefore sensitivity to normal faults. To adjust RSENSE, follow this
    procedure: apply the desired fault current (a difference in current of 5mA is the UL943 standard). Adjust RSENSE
    upward until the SCR activates. A fixed resistor can be used for RSENSE, since the resultant ±15% variation in
    sensitivity will meet UL’s 943 4~6mA specification window.
    The roll-off frequency is greater than the grounded neutral fault oscillation frequency, in order to preserve loop
    gain for oscillation (which is determined by the inductance of the 200:1 transformer and C4).
    The sensitivity to grounded neutral faults is adjusted by changing the frequency of oscillation. Increasing the
    frequency reduces the sensitivity by reducing the loop gain of the positive feedback circuit. As frequency increases,
    the signal becomes attenuated and the loop gain decreases. With the values shown the circuit will detect a grounded
    neutral fault having resistance of 2Ωor less.
    The input to the op amp are protected from overvoltage by back-to back diodes.
    SCR DRIVER
    The SCR used must have a high dV/dt rating to ensure that line noise (generated by noisy appliances such as a
    drill motor) does not falsely trigger the SCR. Also, the SCR must have a gate drive requirement of less than
    200μA.CF is a noise filter capacitor that prevents narrow pulses from firing the SCR.
    The relay solenoid used should have a 3ms or less response time in order to meet the UL 943 timing requirement.
    SENSE TRANSFORMERS AND CORES
    The sense and grounded neutral transformer cores are usually fabricated using high permeability laminated steel
    rings. Their single turn primary is created by passing the line and neutral wires through the center of its core. The
    secondary is usually from 200 to 1500 turns.
    TWO-WIRE APPLICATION CIRCUIT
    Figure 2 shows the diagram of a 2-wire 120V AC outlet GFI circuit using an UTC GV4145-Q. This circuit is not
    designed to detect grounded neutral faults. Thus, the grounded neutral transformer and capacitors C3 and C4 of
    Figure 1 are not used.
