3.1.4 Low-Pass Filter

The low-pass filter is optimized to attenuate auto-oscillation frequencies. The goal is to reduce noise to prevent false trips. This design has a gain of 20 dB at 0 Hz and a cutoff frequency of 70 Hz.

The auto-oscillation frequency depends on many variables: magnetic core material, burden resistance, and the auto-oscillation signal chain. This design with a nanocrystalline core material results an oscillation around 800 Hz.

The low-pass filter is optimized to attenuate noise created by the auto-oscillation circuit.
