Embodiment
Below, use accompanying drawing to describe the present invention in detail.
(embodiment 1)
Fig. 1 is the key diagram of the circuit of present embodiment, and Fig. 2~Fig. 4 is the action waveforms of this circuit.In addition, the waveform of the each several part when Fig. 2 is illustrated in the inverter regular event, and the action of explanation short-circuit protection circuit when being failure to actuate.
Symbol 1 is an instruction department, the 2nd in Fig. 1, gate driving portion, the 3rd, grid voltage test section, the 4th, AND circuit, the 5th, current detecting part, the 6th, IGBT, the 7th, diode.And gate driving portion 2 has the signal of reception from AND circuit 4, the function that output voltage is limited or cuts off.
Use the action of Fig. 2 key diagram 1.The situation of considering the IGBT6 shutoff is as initial condition.Becoming low level (below be called the L level) before the moment t1 from the signal of instruction department 1 among Fig. 2, correspondence also become the L level from the output of gate driving portion 2, thereby the grid voltage of IGBT6 becomes the L level therewith.If be high level (below be called the H level) in moment t1 instruction, then the output of gate driving portion 2 will be reversed to the H level.At this moment, owing to have input capacitance at the grid of IGBT6, so the output of gate driving portion 2 can not become the H level at once, and some time voltages increase gradually late.Reach the threshold voltage of IGBT6 at moment t2 grid voltage, and collector current begins to flow out.Collector current increases gradually during moment t2~t3, and begins to reduce at moment t3 collector voltage, and to moment t4, IGBT6 is in on-state fully.In Fig. 2,, therefore do not carry out abnormality detection, thereby the output of AND circuit 4 also still remains L, and protective circuit is not moved based on grid detection signal, over-current detection signal because overcurrent does not flow through.
Next, the state of the inverter abnormal operation that flows through for overcurrent describes.Fig. 3 is illustrated in the waveform of the each several part under the abnormal operation state that inverter flows through overcurrent.Among Fig. 3 from t1 constantly input instruction to collector current is identical with Fig. 2 before beginning to flow out constantly at t2.If at moment t2, IGBT6 begins to connect, and then supply voltage is applied to IGBT6, so electric current sharply increases.At this moment, collector voltage is because of temporary transient minimizing of voltage Ve=Le * di/dt of the stray inductance Le that is created in wiring by this rapid current changing rate di/dt, but collector voltage keeps having applied high-tension state.So grid voltage is increased to till the voltage of grid power supply as shown in Figure 3 quickly.In addition, when the reference regular event, be represented by dotted lines before the grid voltage waveform among Fig. 3.Detect this voltage in the grid voltage test section 3, and the grid detection signal is reversed to the H level.Current detection signal is the L level under this state, so the output of AND circuit 4 still remains the L level, thereby overcurrent sensing circuit does not move.If surpass predefined current level at moment t4 collector current, then current detection signal counter-rotating, and the output of AND circuit 4 becomes the H level, thus detect short circuit.If the output of AND circuit 4 becomes the H level, the short-circuit protection circuit that then is built in gate driving portion 2 moves, and the electric current of IGBT6 is limited or cuts off.
At last, use Fig. 4 for inverter just at regular event, but the situation that current detection signal reverses mistakenly describes.Fig. 4 and Fig. 2 similarly represent the waveform of normal inverter action, but are illustrated in the situation that moment t3 current detection signal is reversed to the H level.In the present embodiment, even current detection signal is reversed to the H level as shown in Figure 4, the grid detection signal still remains the L level, so the output of AND circuit 4 still remains the L level, thereby can prevent error detection.
Unusual mechanism be will detect in the present embodiment and grid and emitter will be arranged on.Grid and emitter are only applied voltage about tens volts~tens of volts.Therefore, need not to carry out based on the withstand voltage diode of height and the dividing potential drop of a plurality of resistance, thereby can make the testing circuit miniaturization.In addition, the collector voltage of IGBT vibrates consumingly with bigger voltage change ratio dv/dt sometimes, thereby there is the situation that enters noise from collector electrode, but in the present embodiment because testing circuit is connected in less grid of voltage amplitude and emitter, therefore noise is difficult for sneaking into, thereby is difficult for causing malfunction.

According to present embodiment, in order to detect electric current by the stray inductance of using primary circuit route, need not to increase the element that current detecting is used newly at primary circuit route, thereby following advantage is arranged, promptly can not produce the increase of the loss in the current measuring element that primary circuit route also is subjected to or the problems such as increase of cost.
