CURRENT LEAKAGE CIRCUIT BREAKER WITH SELF -TEST
FUNCTION FOR WATER HEATER
The present invention relates to a current leakage circuit breaker device with self- test function for water heater. More particularly, the present invention relates to a self-testing current leakage circuit breaker with status indicators to alert users any current leakage and malfunctioning of the current leakage circuit breaker of an electric water heater.
Most of the electrical installation systems have a relatively high earth impedance.
These systems are dangerous and risky in case of a live to earth fault current flow.
These risks can be significantly reduced by the use of a current leakage circuit breaker. The current leakage circuit breaker makes these systems more safer by cutting the power if the dangerous situations happen. Thus, it is common to provide current leakage circuit breakers for main electrical appliances for current leakage protection.
Typical current leakage circuit breaker devices are designed to trip in response to ~ the detection of hazardous ground fault currents at an AC load of the devices.
Generally, the ground fault occurs when a person comes into contact electrically - scone with a hot conductor of the AC load and an earth ground at the similar time, a situation which can result in electrocution or electrical burns. The current leakage circuit breaker device detects this situation by using a sensing transformer to detect an imbalance between the currents flowing in the hot and neutral conductors of an
AC supply, as will happen when a portion of the current on the hot conductor is being diverted to the earth ground. When the imbalance is detected, a circuit breaker relay within the current leakage circuit breaker device is immediately tripped to an open condition, and removing all power from the load (electrical appliance).
The lifespan of an electrical appliance can be expected in decades, however there is no certainty that an current leakage circuit breaker will work properly over that time interval without default. Electronic parts and insulation will age from time to time and this will lead to a degradation in its performance. High current demands through the electronic parts, even in normal use, can cause the contacts of the circuit breaker in the current leakage circuit breaker to weld together, eventually preventing the circuit breaker from opening even if a fault is correctly detected.
Even an accidental lightning strike can permanently damage the electronic parts of an current leakage circuit breaker. Although users should periodically test current leakage circuit breaker devices, a manual test can give misleading results or be misinterpreted by the user. In current day, for current leakage circuit breaker devices that are provided with manual test buttons, there is no way to ensure that if they are tested and are replaced if defective. Sometimes, the user might also forget to use the manual test button of the current leakage circuit breaker during the usage of the electrical appliance.
Accordingly, there is a need for a self-testing feature in current leakage circuit breaker devices for such as electric water heater that is automatic, that is periodic,
and that disable the power supply if the device cannot afford protection from a ground fault or current leakage. Furthermore, there is a need for status indicators incorporated with the current leakage circuit breaker to provide alert to users of any current leakage and malfunctioning of the current leakage circuit breaker.
Accordingly, to solve the disadvantages and drawbacks of the prior art, there is provided a water heater having a self-testing current leakage circuit breaker, which essentially comprises at least one heating means, a heater electronic controller electrically connected to the heating means, a water supply controller electrically connected to a water supply means, and the self-testing current leakage circuit breaker electrically connected to a source of alternating current supply for interrupting current supply to the heating means when a fault condition has occurred. The self-testing current leakage circuit breaker comprises a current leakage sensing component for sensing abnormal current flows generated by leakage currents and generating voltage if abnormal current flows are sensed, an abnormal current leakage determination component electrically connected to the current leakage sensing component for determining whether abnormal current flows of sufficient magnitude and duration have occurred, an electrical current interrupting component electrically connected to the abnormal current leakage determination component to disable the alternating current supply upon detection of a fault. Furthermore, a circuit breaker testing component is electrically connected to the abnormal current leakage determination component that automatically test the functionality of the abnormal current leakage determination component and the electrical current interrupting component, and a status indicator is electrically connected to the circuit breaker testing component to indicate the user of the functionality condition of the abnormal current leakage determination component and the electrical current interrupting component upon completion of the self-testing process.
It is an object of the present invention to provide the self-testing current leakage circuit breaker further comprises an reset component electrically connected to the abnormal current leakage determination component that manually resets the electrical current interrupting component on elimination of the fault condition.
It is another object of the invention to provide the self-testing current leakage circuit breaker further comprises manual test component electrically connected to the abnormal current leakage determination component for manually testing the proper operation of the abnormal current leakage determination component,
It is yet another object of the invention to provide upon power on, the circuit breaker testing component to initialize one-time program routine by generating a test leakage current through a test loop wire to the current sense transformer and the secondary winding of current sense transformer to simulate a leakage current operation, and de-energise a power relay’s coil to open circuit and cut off the alternating current supply.

The self-testing current leakage circuit breaker (10) electrically connected to a source of alternating current supply (60) for interrupting current supply to the heating means (20) when
To a fault condition has occurred and comprises a current leakage sensing component (11) for sensing abnormal current flows generated by leakage currents and generating voltage if abnormal current flows are sensed, an abnormal current leakage determination component (12) electrically connected to the current leakage sensing component (11) for determining whether abnormal current flows of sufficient magnitude and duration have occurred, an electrical current interrupting component (13) that disable the alternating current supply (60) upon detection of a fault. Furthermore, a circuit breaker testing component (14) that automatically test the functionality of the abnormal current leakage determination component (12) and the electrical current interrupting component (13); and a status indicator to indicate the user of the functionality condition of the abnormal current leakage determination component (12) and the electrical current interrupting component : (13) upon completion of the self-testing process. The electrical current interrupting component (13) comprises a relay (31).
Referring to Figure 1, there can be seen the water heater (100) components having a self-testing current leakage circuit breaker in a preferred embodiment of the invention. A source of alternating current supply (60), preferably 220-240V is provided. The incoming conductors from the source are provided with one : ungrounded conductor known as live conductor and another grounded conductor known as neutral conductor. Conductors pass through the self-testing current leakage circuit breaker (10) and thereby operate the self-testing current leakage circuit breaker (10). A thermal cutout (80) is connected to the self-testing current leakage circuit breaker (10) to open the electrical circuit in the event of a high temperature. A water supply controller (40) is electrically connected to the thermal cutout (80) and the self-testing current leakage circuit breaker (10) to draw the power from the source of alternating current supply (60) to provide control for a water supply means (50). The water supply means (50) having a motor to pump in water to be heated by the heating means (20). Furthermore, a speed control : potentiometer is electrically connected to the water supply controller (40) to control the speed of the water flow from the water supply means (50).
Further referring to Figure 1, a heater electronic controller (30) is electrically connected to the heating means (20) to control the temperature to be generated by the heating means (20). A triode for alternating current (TRIAC) (110) is electrically connected to the heater electronic controller (30) and the heating means (20) as a switch to control the percentage of current that flows through the TRIAC (110) to the heating means (20). A flow switch (90) is electrically connected to the thermal cutout (80) and the heater electronic controller (30) to sense the flow of water passing through its valve body and to send an electrical control signal to the heater electronic controller (30) to control the TRIAC (110) and the water supply means (50).
Referring to Figure 2, there can be seen the block diagram of a self-testing current leakage circuit breaker in a preferred embodiment of the invention. The current leakage sensing component (11) comprises a current sense transformer (21) and a secondary winding (22) of the current sense transformer. The incoming conductors from the source are AC(L) (60a) and AC(N) (60b). These conductors AC(L) (60a) and AC(N) (60b) will pass through the zero-phase current sensor transformer 21) and act as primary winding. The secondary winding (22) of the current sense transformer will connect to the abnormal current leakage determination component (12) which may filter, amplify and process the output voltage from secondary winding (22). In normal operation which no leakage current occurred, the same amount of current will flow through conductors AC(L) (60a) and AC(N) (60b) in opposite direction. This will cause near zero flux on the current sense transformer (21) and generate near zero voltage on the secondary winding (22). This near zero voltage will make the power relay’s (31) coil to energize through a transistor and the load (heating means) will get current supply from contacts (31a, 31b).
Upon power on, the circuit breaker testing component (14) will initialize one-time program routine to determine on the abnormal current leakage determination component (12) and the electrical current interrupting component (13) functions.
Under this routine, the circuit breaker testing component (14) generates a test leakage current through a test loop wire (23) to the current sense transformer (21) and the secondary winding of current sense transformer (22) to simulate a leakage current operation. Upon detection of the voltage on the secondary winding (22) by the abnormal current leakage determination component(12), the power relay’s (31)
coil will be de-energised to open circuit and cut off the current supply from contacts (31a, 31b). At the same time, the circuit breaker testing component (14) will monitor condition of the load AC conductors (33a, 33b) which generate the load supply signal, to the circuit breaker testing component (14) by a connection (34). It will then check against the load supply signal with an output status from the abnormal current leakage determination component (12) through a connection (35) to determine the condition of the abnormal current leakage determination component (12) and the electrical current interrupting component (13). In normal operation, the load supply signal and the output status should tally with each other.
In case not, then the circuit breaker testing component (14) will determine that there is malfunction on the abnormal current leakage determination component (12) or the electrical current interrupting component (13). The routine will continue checking to confirm the result. Preferably, the status indicator device ( 15) comprises a plurality of bi-color light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Each bi-color LED consists of a red LED and a green LED in a single package. Upon completion, the abnormal current leakage determination component (12) will indicate the pass result by turn on permanently the green LEDs with green light and fail result by turn on the red LEDs with the blinking red light. Under normal condition which green LEDs is on, the circuit breaker testing component (14) will complete the routine by automatically sending a reset signal to the abnormal current leakage determination component (12) to energise back the power relay and set back to normal operation. :
When there is leakage current on load portion, this will create imbalance flux on the current sense transformer (21) and generate non-zero output voltage on the secondary winding (22) of the current sense transformer. This voltage will input to the abnormal current leakage determination component (12) which will determine whether a leakage current of sufficient magnitude and duration has occurred. In case a leakage current is detected, then the abnormal current leakage determination component (12) will trigger a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) which will turn off a transistor and at the same time, the power relay coils will de-energize and release open the relay contacts (31a, 31b). The red LEDs will start blinking,
Furthermore, the self-testing current leakage circuit breaker (10) further comprises a reset component (16) electrically connected to the abnormal current leakage determination component (12) that manually resets the electrical current interrupting component (13) on elimination of the fault condition. A manual test component (17) is electrically connected to the abnormal current leakage determination component (12) for manually testing the proper operation of the abnormal current leakage determination component (12). A power supply component (18) is electrically connected to the alternating current supply (60) to supply power to the abnormal current leakage determination component (12) and the circuit breaker testing component (14).
