A ground fault detector for use in resistance grounded electrical systems. In one embodiment, the system includes a digital processor to monitor an electrical parameter of the resistance to determine and indicate whether a ground fault has occurred. Data regarding the ground fault occurrence can then be digitally stored transmitted, or processed, such as by an external computer. In another embodiment, the ground fault detector includes a filter to remove the harmonic components of the monitored electrical parameter, to avoid false alarms. In addition, in another embodiment, the ground fault detector can also determine whether a high harmonic condition is present in the monitored electrical system. The phase of the electrical system can be grounded by pressing a test switch, thereby causing a ground fault and allowing the harmonic components of the signal in the electrical system to be monitored.

A speaker system utilizes dipole speaker drivers in conjunction with monopole speaker drivers in a listening area to disperse a surround sound effect to a listener. The dipole speaker drivers are physically mounted on top of the front left and right speakers and are angled in a way that the surround information is delivered to the listener via wall/room reflections. By reflecting the sound off the walls, the system provides a delayed diffuse audio signal from the dipole speakers, enhancing the surround effect.

A suction accumulator for refrigeration or air-conditioning system use, especially for automotive air conditioning system use, which comprises a “pickup tube” to withdraw liquid from a reservoir of the accumulator to return oil to the compressor. The accumulator has a deflector with an outlet tube, to help ensure that fluid does not flow directly from the inlet opening to the outlet opening of the accumulator. The relatively narrow second portion of the outlet tube is closer to the outlet opening than the first portion. The pickup tube is secured in communication with the relatively narrow second portion and optimises the oil return function, minimises restriction to refrigerant flow, maximises effective and actual reservoir volume, and minimises the amount of liquid delivered to the compressor at switch-off. Incorporating an electric heating element or a heat exchanger for engine coolant or exhaust allows the accumulator of the present invention to function as the evaporator when the refrigeration system is used in heat pump mode for heating applications.
