? 2010 fairchild semiconductor corporation www.fairchildsemi.com FAN4146 ? rev. 1.0.0 5 FAN4146 ? ground fault interrupter functional description refer to figure 1 and figure 3. the FAN4146 is a two-wire gfci controller for ac ground-fault-circuit interrupter s. the internal rectifier circuit is biased by the ac line during the positive half cycle of the ac line voltage. the internal 12v shunt regulator uses a precisi on temperature-compensated bandgap reference. the combination of precision reference circuitry and pr ecision sense amplifier provides for an accurate ground-fault tolerance. this allows for selection of external components with wider and lower-cost parameter variation. due to the low quiescent current, a high value external series resistor (r 1 ) can be used which reduces the maximum power wattage required for this resistor. the 12v shunt regulator generates the reference voltage v ref for the sense amplifier?s (a 1 ) non-inverting input (ac ground reference) and supplies the bias for the delay timer (t 1 ), comparators (c 1 & c 2 ), and the scr driver. the secondary winding of the sense transformer is directly dc coupled to the inverting input of the sense amplifier at pin 5 (v fb ). the r set resistor converts the sense transformer?s secondary current to a voltage at pin 6 (ampout). this voltage is compared to the internal window comparator (c 1 & c 2 ) and, when the ampout voltage exceeds the +/-v th threshold voltage, the window comparator triggers the internal delay timer. the output of the window comparator must stay high for the duration of the t 1 timer. if the window comparator?s output momentarily goes low, the t 1 timer resets. if the window comparator?s output is still high at the end of the t 1 pulse, the scr driver enables the current source i 1 and disables q 1 . the current source i 1 then enables the external scr, which energizes the solenoid, opens the contact switches to the load, and removes the hazardous ground fault. the window comparator allows detection of a positive or negative i fault signal independent from the phase of the line voltage. an internal under-voltage lockout circuit disables the scr driver if the voltage at pin 3 (line) is below 7.5v. this prevents the scr from energizing the solenoid when the scr?s anode voltage is below 65v. the sense transformer typically has a toroidal core made of laminated steel rings or solid ferrite material. the secondary of the transformer is typically 1000 turns of #40 wire wound through the toroid. the primary is typically one turn made by passing the ac hot and neutral wires through the center of the toroid. when a ground fault exists, a difference exists between the current flowing in hot and neutral wires. the primary difference current divided by the primary-to-secondary turns ratio is the current that flows through the secondary wire of the transformer. calculation of r set resistor the ampout signal must exceed the window comparator?s v th threshold voltage for longer than the delay timer and calculated by: v th =i fault x 1.41 x r set x c os (2 x (t/2p)) / n (1) r set = (v th x n) / (1.41 x i fault x c os ( x t/p)) (2) where: v th =3.5v i fault = 5ma (ul943b) t = 1ms (timer delay) p = period of the ac line (1/60hz) n = ratio of secondary to primary turns (1000:1) r set = 505k ( 511k standard 1% value ) in practice, the transformer is non-ideal, so r set may need to be adjusted by up to 30% to obtain the desired i fault trip threshold. calculation of v os trip threshold error since the sense coil is directly connected to the feedback of the sense amplifier, the v os offset introduces an i fault threshold error. this error can be calculated as follows: %error=100 x (v os x r set ) / (r in + rl dc + rl ac ) / v th (3) where: v os = +/-450v (worst case) +/-150v (typical) r set = 511k r in = 470 (typical value) rl dc = 75 (sense coil secondary dc resistance) rl ac = 1.5 k (ac (j l) impedance of sense coil), l= 4h, f= 60hz) v th = 3.5v %error= +/- 3.2% (worst case) +/- 1.1% (typical)
