GV4145A
LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
LOW POWER GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER
DESCRIPTION
The UTC GV4145A is a low power controller for AC outlet ground fault interrupters. These devices detect hazardous grounding conditions, such as equipment (connected to opposite phases of the AC line) in contact with a pool of water and open circuits the line before a harmful or lethal shock occurs.
Contained internally are a 26V zener shunt regulator, an opamp, and an SCR driver. With the addition of two sense transformers, a bridge rectifier, an SCR, a relay, and a few additional components, the UTC GV4145A will detect and protect against both hot wire to ground and neutral wire to ground faults. Ease of application and long-term reliability.
