The AFE3010 is a precision, low-power, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) controller used for detecting ground fault leakage paths in electrical circuits. This device is a single IC solution that continuously monitors an electrical circuit for multiple fault conditions to verify that the system is operating correctly.

A ground fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, is an inexpensive and very important part of the modern electrical system. It is also one of the most misunderstood. While often thought to be an overload (circuit breaker) device, it is in fact very different. A GFCI is designed to protect people from severe or fatal electric shocks by sensing very ...

Ground fault circuit interrupters – All 120-volt, single phase, 15- and 20-ampere receptacle outlets on construction sites, which are not a part of the permanent wiring and that are used by workers, should have approved ground fault circuit interrupters for personnel protection. Receptacles on a two-wire, single-phase portable or vehicle-mounted generator rated not …

A ground fault circuit interrupter, called a GFCI or GFI, is an inexpensive electrical device that can either be installed in your electrical system or built into a power cord to protect you from severe electrical shocks. GFCIs have played a key role in reducing electrocutions.
Figure 1. GFCI View animation of this image. A ground-fault occurs when there is a break in the low-resistance grounding path from a tool or electrical system. The electrical current may then take an alternative path to the ground through the user, resulting in serious injuries or death.
1. The UL943 standard exempts GFCI circuit breakers from detecting and warning when the trip solenoid and/or switching semiconductor fails in the “open” state, rendering the GFCI circuit breaker incapable of tripping in response to a fault condition, resulting in complete loss of GFCI protection.
