Abstract

In an electronic module for a ground fault interrupter the portion that amplifies a sensed ground fault signal is in the form of a series of cascaded CMOS inverter stages. The electronic module also includes an additional CMOS inverter providing a balanced input to the amplifier to aid in preventing operation of the ground fault interrupter during the turn-on period of operation.
