GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER
DESCRIPTION
The UTC GF4146 is a two-wire low-power controller for Residual
Current Devices (RCD) and AC outlet Appliance Leakage Circuit
Interrupters (ALCI) . The UTC GF4146 detects hazardous grounding
conditions and open circuits the line before a harmful shock occurs.
Internally, the UTC GF4146 contains a diode rectifier, 12V shunt
regulator using
a precision temperature-compensated bandgap
reference, precision low VOS offset-sense amplifier, time delay noise
filter, window-detection comparators, and a SCR driver. With the
addition of a minimum number of external components, the UTC
GF4146 detects and protects against a hot-wire-to-ground fault.
The UTC GF4146 circuitry has a built-in rectifier and shunt
regulator that operates with a low quiescent current. This allows for a
high-value, low-wattage-series supply resistor.
The internal temperature compensated shunt regulator, sense amplifier, and bias circuitry provide for precision
ground-fault detection. The low VOS offset-sense amplifier allows direct coupling of the sense coil to the amplifier’s
feedback signal. This eliminates the large 50/60Hz AC-coupling capacitor. The internal delay filter rejects
high-frequency noise spikes common with inductive loads. This decreases false nuisance tripping. The internal
SCR driver is temperature compensated and designed to satisfy the current requirements for a wide selection of
external SCRs.
