A ground fault circuit interrupter device having a feedthrough capacitor
for substantially reducing interference from radio frequency signals such
as those emitted from cell phones. The ground fault circuit interrupter
device includes a printed circuit board having a system ground terminal
and a detection terminal for receiving a fault detection signal. A chip
is provided having a ground pin connected to the system ground terminal
and an input pin for receiving the fault detection signal. The
feedthrough capacitor has a through conductor connected between the input
pin and the detection terminal and a capacitor coupled between the
through conductor and the system ground terminal.
