Zusammenfassung:A control is provided for an AC circuit protection system or the like which is capable of monitoring either single phase or polyphase current flow. The composite current is periodically sampled at a frequency fs which is not a harmonic frequency of circuit current. The current sample values are converted into digital form and processed, then stored in an accumulator stage. When an overcurrent condition occurs the accumulator stage overflows and trips a circuit interrupter.
