Example 1. Line-to-Neutral, Non-Isolated Coupling Circuit
Figure 4.1 presents a schematic for a line-to-neutral (L-N), non-isolated mains coupling circuit. Table 4.2 lists
component values and example suppliers/part numbers for coupling to the AC mains with a nominal line voltage of
≤240VAC. This schematic can also be used for coupling to wiring other than AC mains with AC or DC voltages of
250V
RMS
or less.
