摘要 |
An embodiment of the present invention is a lighting system including a sense transformer with two primaries and a secondary for receiving alternating current (AC) from a power source, a low ohmage resistor placed across the sense transformer secondary winding for preventing saturation of the core of the sense transformer, an analog comparator for detecting when ground-fault signals in the sense transformer secondary winding exceed a threshold voltage and digital counters for testing whether or not a ground-fault condition persists longer than three consecutive half-cycles of the received alternating current from the power source.
