Background technology
Traditional thyristor overvoltage protection method is for reaching default level of protection when thyristor voltage, and protection immediately triggers thyristor, and level of protection is default fixed value.But in the common series operation of high-power field thyristor; the parallel connection of thyristor two ends damping resistance, damping capacitor and direct current grading resistor; the triggered as normal of thyristor and overvoltage protection adopt thyristor to trigger with monitoring means and realize; once the triggered as normal loop of thyristor is damaged; when equipment continues operation; the thyristor of series connection with it can triggered as normal conducting; and the impaired thyristor in triggered as normal loop can only lean on overvoltage protection to trigger; in order to improve the availability of equipment, allow this operating mode long-time running.Damping resistance, damping capacitor and direct current grading resistor at this operating mode thyristor bear very high voltage and current intensity, and its dv/dt, di/dt are very large, easily cause the damage of damping resistance, damping capacitor and direct current grading resistor.According to this operating mode, determine the rated voltage of damping resistance, damping capacitor and direct current grading resistor, its rated voltage is higher simultaneously; The rated power of determining damping resistance, direct current grading resistor according to this operating mode, its rated power is larger.
Traditional thyristor overvoltage protection implementation method adopts BOD device to realize, when thyristor voltage reaches after BOD device electric breakdown strength, and the breakdown conducting of BOD device, On current injects gate circuit transistor gate makes its triggering and conducting, has realized thyristor overvoltage protection.BOD device and current-limiting resistance are arranged on thyristor and trigger and monitoring means, there are four kinds of shortcomings in the thyristor overvoltage protection that this mode realizes, shortcoming one: the high voltage induction thyristor of thyristor anode triggers and monitoring means, make the volume of circuit board very large, be unfavorable for device miniaturization and densification; During shortcoming two: BOD protection action, the high voltage that BOD loop is instantaneous and large electric current (pulse current) trigger with monitoring means logical circuit and have larger electromagnetic interference thyristor, have reduced thyristor and have triggered and monitoring means anti-electromagnetic interference capability; Shortcoming three: BOD device is more expensive, has increased equipment manufacturing cost; Shortcoming four: overvoltage protection level is non-adjustable, level of protection is the puncture voltage of BOD device.

Chinese patent application 200610064922.4 discloses a kind of breakdown diode and has triggered thyristor-type overvoltage protection; thyristor and annex thereof by one or more series connection form; between thyristor valve gate pole and anode, meet BOD; when the forward voltage at thyristor two ends surpasses a certain particular value, BOD is transformed into on-state, by a kind of short circuit effect sharply, triggers thyristor.The thyristor two ends damping absorption circuit that also parallel resistance and electric capacity form, BOD triggers series thyristor unit by protection damping resistance ground connection.The operation voltage of BOD can determine superpotential level of protection, and damping absorption circuit absorbs the shutoff overshoot of thyristor valve, also plays the effect that slows down overvoltage wave head.Protection damping resistance plays electric current, the catabiotic effect of suppressing, and the selection of its resistance value has also determined the size of protection action residual voltage simultaneously.Most of energy of overvoltage shock wave all consumes on protection damping resistance, and thyristor is the conduction loss of self.
Above two kinds of patent applications adopt BOD protection, BOD device and current-limiting resistance are arranged on thyristor and trigger and monitoring means, there are four kinds of shortcomings in the thyristor overvoltage protection that this mode realizes, shortcoming one: the high voltage induction thyristor of thyristor anode triggers and monitoring means, make the volume of circuit board very large, be unfavorable for device miniaturization and densification; During shortcoming two: BOD protection action, the high voltage that BOD loop is instantaneous and large electric current (pulse current) trigger with monitoring means logical circuit and have larger electromagnetic interference thyristor, have reduced thyristor and have triggered and monitoring means anti-electromagnetic interference capability; Shortcoming three: BOD device is more expensive, has increased equipment manufacturing cost; Shortcoming four: overvoltage protection level is non-adjustable, level of protection is the puncture voltage of BOD device.
