Description
The RV4141A is a low power controller for AC receptacle ground fault circuit interrupters. These devices detect hazardous current paths to ground and ground to neutral faults. The circuit interrupter then disconnects the load from the line before a harmful or lethal shock occurs.
Internally, the RV4141A contains a diode rectifier, shunt regulator, precision sense amplifier, current reference, time delay circuit, and SCR driver.
Two sense transformers, SCR, solenoid, three resistors and four capacitors complete the design of the basic circuit interrupter. The simple layout and minimum component count insure ease of application and long term reliability.
