Please note: As part of the Fairchild Semiconductor integration, some of the Fairchild orderable part numbers
will need to change in order to meet ON Semiconductor’s system requirements. Since the ON Semiconductor
product management systems do not have the ability to manage part nomenclature that utilizes an underscore
(_), the underscore (_) in the Fairchild part numbers will be changed to a dash (-). This document may contain
device numbers with an underscore (_). Please check the ON Semiconductor website to verify the updated
device numbers. The most current and up-to-date ordering information can be found at www.onsemi.com. Please

The KA2803B is designed for use in earth leakage
circuit interrupters, for operation directly off the AC line
in breakers. The input of the differential amplifier is
connected to the secondary coil of ZCT (Zero Current
Transformer). The amplified output of differential
amplifier is integrated at external capacitor to gain
adequate time delay specified in KSC4613. The level
comparator generates a high level when earth leakage
current is greater than the fixed level.

Application Information
used to protect the earth leakage detector IC
(KA2803B). The range of RP is from several hundred
Ω to several kΩ.
(Refer to full-wave application circuit in Figure 2)
Figure 2 shows the KA2803B connected in a typical
leakage current detector system. The power is applied
to the VCC terminal (Pin 8) directly from the power line.
The resistor RS and capacitor CS are chosen so that Pin
8 voltage is at least 12 V. The value of CS is
recommended above 1 µF.
Capacitor C1 is for the noise canceller and a standard
value of C1 is 0.047 µF. Capacitor C2 is also a noise
canceller capacitance, but it is not usually used.
When high noise is present, a 0.047 µF capacitor may
be connected between Pins 6 and 7. The amplified
signal finally appears at the Pin 7 with pulse signal
through the internal latch circuit of the KA2803B. This
signal drives the gate of the external SCR, which
energizes the trip coil, which opens the circuit breaker.
The trip time of the breaker is determined by capacitor
C3 and the mechanism breaker. This capacitor should
be selected under 1µF to satisfy the required trip time.
The full-wave bridge supplies power to the KA2803B
during both the positive and negative half cycles of the
line voltage. This allows the hot and neutral lines to be
interchanged.
If the leakage current is at the load, it is detected by the
zero current transformer (ZCT). The output voltage
signal of ZCT is amplified by the differential amplifier of
the KA2803B internal circuit and appears as a half-cycle
sine wave signal referred to input signal at the output of
the amplifier. The amplifier closed-loop gain is fixed
about 1000 times with internal feedback resistor to
compensate for zero current transformer (ZCT)
variations. The resistor RL should be selected so that
the breaker satisfies the required sensing current. The
protection resistor RP is not usually used when high
current is injected at the breaker; this resistor should be

Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability.
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only.
