Circuit breaker monitors leakage current


Posted on Apr 24, 2012

The residual-current circuit breaker in Figure 1 continuously monitors the supply lines for any leakage current and immediately disconnects the supply if necessary. Load-supply wires, both live and neutral, pass through the magnetic core of the CR4311-5 transducer (http://www.crmagnetics.com), which monitors the supply current. Under normal circumstances, because the current flowing in both conductors is equal and opposite, no flux is generated in the transducer core.
