摘要:
A ground fault detecting system including a current monitor, a ground fault sensor and a circuit breaker. The ground fault sensor responds to the presence of ground fault current to actuate a circuit breaker to open the circuit in which the ground fault current is flowing. The ground fault sensor includes circuit elements which perform corresponding circuit functions such as time delay and reset. The ground fault sensor is adapted to provide an adjustable or variable time delay so that the circuit breaker to be tripped may be delayed in tripping through a wide range of time periods after the initial sensing of the ground fault current.
摘要:
An alternating current switch includes a full-wave rectifier with one input terminal thereof connected to an alternating current line, and the other input terminal connected by way of a load impedance to the alternating current line, with a controlled rectifier connected across the output of the full wave rectifier and while conducting providing for the flow of current through the load impedance and while nonconducting preventing the flow of current through the load impedance, with a Zener diode connecting the control element of the controlled rectifier to the anode thereof whereby a gate drive for gating the controlled rectifier on is obtained only when the voltage across the Zener diode is sufficient to cause the Zener diode to become conductive.
