FAN4147
Ground Fault Interrupter
Features
Description
The FAN4147 is a low-power Ground Fault Interrupter
(GFI) controller for detecting hazardous current paths to
ground and ground-to-neutral faults. The FAN4147
application circuit opens the load contacts before a
harmful shock occurs.

Portable GFCI Cords
Internally, the FAN4147 contains a diode rectifier,
precision bandgap 12V shunt regulator, precision lowVOS offset-sense amplifier, time delay noise filter,
window-detection comparators, and an SCR driver. With
a minimum number of external components, the
FAN4147 detects and protects against a hot-wire-toground fault and a neutral-line-to-neutral-load short. The
minimal components and the small SuperSOT™
package allow for a small-form-factor, low-cost solution.
The FAN4147 circuitry has a built-in rectifier and shunt
regulator that operates with a low quiescent current.
This allows for a high-value, low-wattage-series supply
resistor. The internal temperature-compensated shunt
regulator, sense amplifier, and bias circuitry provide for
precision ground-fault detection. The low-VOS offsetsense amplifier allows direct coupling of the sense coil
to the amplifier’s feedback signal. This eliminates the
large 50/60Hz AC-coupling capacitor. The internal delay
filter rejects high-frequency noise spikes common with
inductive loads. This decreases false nuisance tripping.
The internal SCR driver is temperature compensated
and designed to satisfy the current requirements for a
wide selection of external SCRs.
The minimum number of external components and the
6-pin SuperSOT™ package enable a low-cost, compact
design and layout.

oscillate. When the peak oscillation voltage exceeds the
SCR trigger threshold, the internal delay timer is
enabled. Since the amplifier’s output signal is crossing
the window comparator’s trip threshold typically at 6KHz,
the delay timer alternates between detection of a
fault/no fault. The ratio of the fault/no-fault detection time
interval determines if the SCR driver is enabled.
The FAN4147 is a GFCI controller for AC ground-fault
circuit interrupters. The internal rectifier circuit is
supplied from the AC line during the positive half cycle
of the AC line voltage. The internal 12V shunt regulator
uses a precision temperature-compensated bandgap
reference. The combination of precision reference
circuitry and precision sense amplifier provides for an
accurate ground-fault tolerance. This allows for selection
of external components with wider, lower-cost,
parameter variations. Due to the low quiescent current,
a high-value external series resistor (R1) can be used,
which reduces the maximum power wattage required.
The 12V shunt regulator generates the reference
voltage for the sense amplifier’s (A1) non-inverting input
(AC ground reference) and supplies the bias for the
delay timer (T1), comparators (C1 & C2), and SCR driver.
The sensitivity of the grounded neutral detection is
changed by the neutral coil turns and C2, C3 values.
RSET Resistor Calculation
The AmpOut signal must exceed the window
comparator’s VTH threshold voltage for longer than the
delay timer. Therefore:
The secondary winding of the sense transformer is
connected to pin 4 (VREF) and to a resistor RIN directly
DC connected to the inverting input of the sense
amplifier at pin 5 (VFB). The feedback resistor (RSET)
converts the sense transformer’s secondary current to a
voltage at pin 6 (AmpOut). This voltage is compared to
the internal window comparator (C1 & C2) and, when the
AmpOut voltage exceeds the +/-VTH threshold voltage,
the window comparator triggers the internal delay timer.
The output of the window comparator must stay HIGH
for the duration of the t1 timer. If the window
comparator’s output goes LOW, the internal delay timer
starts a reset cycle. If the window comparator’s output is
still HIGH at the end of the t1 pulse, the SCR driver
enables the current source I1 and disables Q1. The
current source I1 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 for detection of a positive or
negative IFAULT signal independent from the phase of the
line voltage.
VTH=IFAULT x 1.41 x RSET x COS(2 x (t/2P)) / N
(1)
RSET=(VTH x N) / (1.41 x IFAULT x COS( x t/P))
(2)
The sense transformer typically has a toroidal core
made of laminated steel rings or solid ferrite material.
The secondary of the transformer is typically 800 to
1500 turns of #40 wire wound through the toroid. The
primary is typically one to two turns 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 primaryto-secondary turns ratio, is the current that flows through
the secondary wire of the transformer.
Since the sense coil is DC connected to the feedback of
the sense amplifier, the VOS offset introduces an Ifault
threshold error. This error can be calculated as:
where:
VTH
= 3.5V ;
IFAULT = 5mA (UL943) ;
t
= 1ms (timer delay);
P
= Period of the AC Line (1/60Hz);
N
= Ratio of secondary to primary turns (1000:1);
RSET
= 505K511Kstandard 1% value
Note:
4. In practice, the transformer is non-ideal, so RSET
may need to be adjusted by up to 30% to obtain the
desired Ifault trip threshold.
VOS Trip Threshold Error Calculation
%Error=
100 x (VOS x RSET) / (RIN + RLDC + RLAC) / VTH
(3)
where:
VOS
= +/-450V (worse case);
= +/-150V (typical);
A grounded neutral condition occurs when the neutralline is grounded at the neutral-load side.
Depending on the resistance of the grounded neutral
connection, this condition causes the sense coil to
detect a lower ground fault current. The detection of a
ground-to-load-neutral fault relies on the principle of
positive feedback. When this occurs, the sense and
neutral coils are mutually coupled, which produces a
positive feedback path around the sense amplifier. This
positive feedback causes the sense amplifier to
