Abstract:
A ground fault circuit interrupter comprises separable contacts for interrupting current flow through a power circuit being protected, trip means operable upon energization to effect separation of the contacts, means for detecting ground fault current, means for monitoring voltage upon the power circuit, and means responsive to the ground fault current detecting means and the voltage monitoring means for energizing the trip means when ground fault current reaches a trip current level. The trip current level varies as a function of the power circuit voltage.
