A ground fault interruption (GFI) system is incorporated onto a DSP based LRM of an aerospace vehicle. The GFI system operates with digital controls and, unlike the prior art, the system does not employ current transformers. Synchronization pulses are employed to coordinate instantaneous current measurement samplings in each phase of a multi-phase power system. Coordinated sampling may reduce phase angle current differential errors and improve operational precision of the GFI system.

The method for detecting single-phase grounding fault based on the harmonic component of residual current is provided, in which collecting and calculating the phase differences of third harmonic waves relative to the fundamental wave of the residual current in the feeder line, and judging if the phase differences of the residual current in the feeder line is into a threshold range, and judging if there is a suspected grounding fault, and confirming the fault event by judging the duration and the generated times of the suspected grounding fault. Another method for detecting single-phase grounding fault based on the harmonic component of residual current is provided, in which the residual current of neutral point is used.
摘要:
A method and circuit for determining a circuit element parameter in a ground fault circuit interrupter circuit. An electrical signal provided to a first node is used to generate another electrical signal at a second node. The electrical signal at the second node is multiplexed with a modulation signal to generate a modulated signal that is then filtered and converted into a digital representation of a portion of the circuit element parameter. The electrical signal at the second node is multiplexed with the modulation signal after it has been phase shifted to produce a modulated signal that is filter and converted into a digital representation of another portion of the circuit element parameter. In another aspect, a slope based solenoid self-test method is used for self-testing in a GFCI circuit. Alternatively, a method for determining a wiring fault is provided using a digital filter.
