Assignment: Residual Leakage Protection Circuit Circuit Diagram

The circuit diagram shows a residual leakage protection circuit with three main parts: 1) A power supply that converts AC mains to 5V DC using a voltage dropping capacitor, rectifier, filter capacitor and zener diode. 2) An imbalance handling section with a coil that detects fluctuations in current to operate a relay switch. 3) A load detection section that uses a transistor switch and LED to indicate when a load is present at the base. The cost estimation lists the components, quantities, individual costs and total cost of around Rs. 250-300. The timeline estimates that PCB routing, component mounting, testing and debugging can be completed within 2 months.

Residual Leakage Protection Circuit

Circuit Diagram:-

Circuit Explanation:-

The above circuit comprises of three major parts Power Supply, Imbalance
handling, load Detection.

1)Power supply –This is a transformer less supply ,Voltage dropping


capacitor(X-Rated)of 0.47uF is connected in series with Phase line of AC which
will give output of ~12V,A register is connected in parallel to discharge the
stored current in capacitor when circuit is switched off, then bridge rectifier is
used to remove negative half component of AC, thereafter a capacitor is used as
a filter to remove any ripples, followed by a Zener diode(5.1v) which will limit
the final output voltage to 5V.
2)Imbalance Handling- It mainly contains a ferromagnetic coil which is having
three winding(phase,neutral,relay) as phase and neutral wire contain equal
current the magnetic field line produced in coil cancel each other, But when
there is a fluctuation a emf is induced in coil which in turn operate relay switch

3)Load detection-Here 5V is taken from power supply to operate a PNP


transistor as a switch, Voltage is applied at Emitter and a Led followed by a
resistor is applied at collector if there is load at Base it will have a voltage drop
and hence circuit gets completed and Led glows.

Cost Estimation:-
S No. Name of Component Quantity Cost of 1 Final Cost
Component
1 MCB(Havells) 1 120 120
2 Diode(VS-MBR350) 4 15 60
3 Relay(12V) 1 40 40
Zener 1 16 16
diode(1N5349BG)
4 Capacitor(0.4uf/400v) 1 8 8

Capacitor(1000uf) 1 6 6
5 Resistor(100,470k) 4 1 4
6. Transistor(BC558) 1 3 3
7 Led 1 1 1
Total 250-300

*The cost is estimated approximately because the price of component may slightly differ
according to place and availability.

Timeline of Project:-
The above proposed circuitory will work perfectly if circuit is routed on a PCB .It
will generally take 10-15 days,After that mounting components,testing and
debugging circuit if any problem caused can be completed within 1 month .The
above component list comprises of best quality available component in the market
and specially where circuit deals directly to AC main ,So components are long
lasting making circuit more Durable. The overall project can be completed within
2 Months.
