A system for calibrating ground fault threshold using auto-monitoring circuit, the system is provided. The system includes a circuit board comprising a self-injection circuit, a rectified voltage detection circuit, and a controller. The controller is configured to provide, using the self-injection circuit, a trigger pulse as input to the self-injection circuit. The rectified voltage detection circuit is used to measure a rectified voltage from the current transformer, where the rectified voltage is based on an AC voltage powering the circuit board. Based on the rectified voltage a series resistor in a current path, an expected current through the current transformer is determined. The expected current is converted to a digital value using an analog to digital converter. A tolerance level of the current transformer is determined based on the digital value.
