| Abstract |
The use of semiconductors in electronic asemblies is the cause of fault currents with d.c. components; these d.c. components are caused, in particular, by the phase adjustment. The effects on the human body of direct current and of alternating current with d.c. components are studied, and conclusions are drawn as to the trip characteristics of differential circuit breakers for protection against fault current with d.c. components. Review of the principles of differential circuit breaker protection agaisnt direct and indirect contact in earthed and earthed-to-neutral nerworks. |
