Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) nuisance trip reduction / Nurhafiza Abd Rahman

Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is used to provide protection from electrical shock and/or electrocution by monitoring current flow in a circuit. When there is any different of current return, GFCI would trip. However, some circuit containing load with producing high frequency ballast will having problem when GFCI always trip not according to the specification. By having circuit analysis and simulate it using simulation software, this problem can obtained and reduced. The main purposed of this project paper is to reduce any nuisance that may occur in GFCI. Since it involving the frequency, filter circuit would be the best solution.
