APPLICATION
High speed earth leakage circuit breaker
FUNCTION
The M54122L circuit for the amplifying parts of earth leakage
circuit breaker consists of differential amplifier, latch circuit and
voltage regulator. It is connected to the secondary side of the zero-
current transformer (ZCT) which detects leakage current in the
both input of the differential amplifier. Signals amplified by
differential amplifier are integrated by an external capacitor, and
connects to the input terminal of latch circuit with output suitable for
the characteristics of high-speed earth leakage circuit breaker.
Latch circuit keeps low in the output till the input voltage reaches
the fixed level, and output becomes high when the leakage current
more than fixed flows. It drives a thyristor connected to the output
terminal of latch circuit.
