Application Circuits
in practice the actual value of C1 will have to be modified to
include the effects of the neutral loop upon the net charging
current The effect of neutral loop induced currents is diffi-
cult to quantize but typically they sum with normal fault cur-
rents thus allowing a larger value of C1
For UL943 requirements 0 015

For those GFI standards not requiring grounded neutral de-
tection a still larger value capacitor can be used and better
noise immunity obtained The larger capacitor can be ac-
commodated because R

In Figure 2 grounded neutral detection is accomplished by
feeding the neutral coil with 120 Hz energy continuously and
allowing some of the energy to couple into the sense trans-
former during conditions of neutral fault
