Abstract

The root mean square value of sensed current within a protected circuit is calculated. A frequency multiplying circuit produces a pulse stream having a frequency proportional to the square of the amplitude of an analog signal representation of the circuit current. A root mean square value over a prescribed interval is developed from the squared current value.
