Description

Characteristic current generating circuit

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent power grid terminals with a characteristic current topology identification function, in particular to a characteristic current generating circuit.

Background

Electric energy is an economic, practical, clean and easily controlled and converted energy form, and the application degree of the electric energy is one of the main signs of the national economic development level. The lightning, the equipment are connected or disconnected, and the accidents of electric fire and personal electric shock casualty caused by improper use of the electrical equipment or electric leakage of the distribution line occur occasionally, so that great threat is brought to the life and property safety of people. The abnormal current in the power grid is usually monitored by adopting the characteristic current, and the detected abnormal current is eliminated to ensure the safety of the power grid and ensure that equipment is not damaged. The existing characteristic current generation methods are roughly divided into two types: the first type is that a thyristor is used as a switch, a resistor is used as a load, the thyristor and the resistor are connected in series, two ends of the thyristor and the resistor are respectively connected with an N line and a phase line, and voltage (V) is applied to two ends of the resistor (R) to generate current (I) through the turn-off of the thyristor, wherein I is V/R. The scheme has lower cost and simple principle; the second type is the same as the first type in principle, only the thyristor is replaced by a relay, physical disconnection can be realized through the relay when characteristic current is not started, and the safety is high.

Based on the principles of the two existing characteristic current schemes, in the first category, due to the characteristic that the positive anode of the thyristor is conducted and the negative anode of the thyristor is closed, namely, the control signal of the thyristor can only turn on the thyristor, and the thyristor can be closed only after the alternating voltage is reversed if the thyristor is closed, so that the characteristic current generation has uncontrollable continuity, and the resistor requires large power, so that the resistor has large volume and is not beneficial to being embedded into a device terminal; and in the second type, a relay is used as a switch for generating characteristic current, because the on-off time of the relay has discreteness, the pulse width of the output characteristic current pulse is inconsistent and is not convenient to identify, and meanwhile, because the relay is started and closed to have certain time delay, the pulse width of the output characteristic current has minimum time limit, the flexibility is poor, and the size is large.

The magnitude of the characteristic current of the above two schemes depends on the magnitude of the voltage when the characteristic current is started, and if the voltage fluctuates or the starting point shifts to be close to the peak point of the voltage, the current will also increase, which may cause overcurrent fault to damage the equipment.

The surge voltage shock wave is subjected to waveform slowing after passing through the inductor L1, voltage clamping is carried out through the voltage dependent resistor VAR1 of the rear stage, surge energy is absorbed, and therefore the input end and the rear stage electronic component are protected.

In this embodiment, 220V commercial power is half-wave rectified by a diode D1 to become direct current VD1, ER1 and ER2 are current-limiting resistors, a diode D3 is a 15V voltage regulator, the output voltage at two ends of a diode D3 is 15V direct current, and the voltage is filtered by an electrolytic capacitor EC1 energy storage filter, a capacitor C1 and a capacitor C2 to output stable 15V power voltage VCC to be supplied to the first characteristic current circuit 3, the second characteristic current circuit 4 and the overcurrent protection circuit 5.

I＝VD1/RPTC (1)；

the VD1 is a direct current power supply converted by an AC-DC circuit (2).

Preferably, the N _ MOS transistor Q1 is an IGBT switch. In this embodiment, the thermistor PTC1 has a time delay T, the thermistor PTC1 can be used as a resistor RPTC during the time T, since the characteristic current is not generated continuously, the thermistor PTC1 generates heat from the characteristic current, and the heat is dissipated during the interval of the characteristic current generation, so as to keep the resistance of the thermistor PTC1 substantially constant, when the drain (D) and the source (S) of the N _ MOS transistor Q1 are turned on, the voltage across the PTC1 is VD1, the IGBT belongs to a semiconductor switching device, when the on-time of the N _ MOS transistor Q1 is greater than T or is continuously turned on due to an uncontrollable fault of the IGBT, the thermistor PTC1 generates power consumption, the temperature rise resistance RPTC increases, and the characteristic current calculation formula shows that the current will decrease or approach to an off state. Thereby protecting each element in the circuit. The IGBT switch needs to use a special driving circuit, i.e., the first characteristic current circuit 3. The first characteristic current circuit 3 includes a driving optocoupler U1, a transistor Q2(NPN transistor), a resistor R2, a resistor R4, a resistor R6, a resistor R9, and a control signal TX. Specifically, pins 1 and 3 of the driving optocoupler U1 are respectively connected with one ends of a resistor R2 and a resistor R4, pin 5 is connected with a cathode of a diode D4 and one end of a resistor R5, and pin 6 is connected with a power supply voltage VCC; the other ends of the resistor R2 and the resistor R4 are respectively connected with a 12V voltage and a collector of a triode Q2; one ends of the resistor R6 and the resistor R9 are both connected with a control signal TX, and the other ends of the resistor R6 and the resistor R9 are respectively connected with a base electrode and a grounding wire of the triode Q2; the emitter of transistor Q2 is connected to ground. Furthermore, the N _ MOS transistor Q1 is an IGBT, and the N _ MOS transistor Q1 needs to be driven by a driving optocoupler U1 dedicated to the IGBT, and an input end of the driving optocoupler U1 is composed of a power supply terminal (VCC is a 12V power supply), a control signal TX, and a ground terminal; when the control signal TX is at a low level, the triode Q2 is not turned on, the level of the 5 th pin of the driving optocoupler U1 is the same as the level of the 4 th pin, VGS of the N _ MOS transistor Q1 is 0, the N _ MOS transistor Q1 is in an off state, and a gap between the drain (D) and the source (S) is cut off; when the control signal TX is at a high level, the transistor Q2 is turned on, the level of the pin 5 of the driving optocoupler U1 is the same as the level of the pin 4, VGS of the N _ MOS transistor Q1 is 15V, the N _ MOS transistor Q1 is in an open state, and the drain (D) and the source (S) are turned on. Thereby driving the second characteristic current circuit 4 to generate the characteristic current. Still further, the overcurrent protection circuit 5 includes an N _ MOS transistor Q3, a voltage detector U2, a transient diode TVS3, a capacitor C5, a resistor R1, a resistor R3, a resistor R8, a resistor R10, a resistor R11, a resistor R12, a resistor R13, and a resistor R14. Specifically, the drain of the N _ MOS transistor Q3 is connected to the anode of the diode D4, and is connected between the resistor R5 and the resistor R7, the source thereof is connected to the ground line, and the gate thereof is connected to one end of the resistor R13; the other end of the resistor R13 is connected with one end of the resistor R11, one end of the resistor R14 and the pin 1 of the voltage detector U2; the 2 pins of the voltage detector U2 are connected between the resistors R12 and R10, and the 3 pins are connected with the grounding wire; the other ends of the resistor R11 and the resistor R14 are respectively connected with a power supply voltage VCC and a grounding wire; the resistor R1, the resistor R3, the resistor R8, the resistor R10 and the resistor R12 are connected in sequence; one ends of the resistor R1 and the resistor R12 are respectively connected with the thermistor PTC1 and the grounding wire; one polar plate of the capacitor C5 is connected to one pin of the transient diode TVS3, and is connected between the resistor R10 and the resistor R12, and the other polar plate of the capacitor C5 and the other pin of the transient diode TVS3 are both connected to the ground line. The calculation formula of the input voltage VDD of the 1 pin of the voltage detector U2 is:

VDD＝VD1×R12/(R1+R3+R8+R10+R12) (2)；

further, the trigger signal of the overcurrent protection is an overvoltage protection signal, when the input voltage of pin 1 of the voltage detector U2 is greater than 5V, pin 2 is in a high-impedance state, the N _ MOS transistor Q3 is in a conducting state, the gate (G) of the N _ MOS transistor Q1 is forced to pull down VGS 0, and the N _ MOS transistor Q1(IGBT switch) is turned off to enter an overcurrent protection state; when the input voltage of a pin 1 of the voltage detector U2 is less than 5V, the level of a pin 2 is the same as that of a pin 3, the N _ MOS transistor Q3 is in a cut-off state, and the closed state of the N _ MOS transistor Q1(IGBT switch) is controlled by a driving optocoupler U1; the point difference between the input voltage VDD of the 1 pin of the voltage detector U2 and the DC power supply VD1 is subjected to fine tuning through a capacitor C5, and the effect of fine tuning the protection voltage threshold can be started; the 1 pin input voltage VDD of the voltage detector U2 can calculate the voltage threshold for entering the protection mode by equation (2). Since the N _ MOS transistor Q1(IGBT switch) has a maximum through current IDSMAX limit, the characteristic current does not necessarily occur in the time period of the voltage peak, and the IDSMAX of the N _ MOS transistor Q1(IGBT switch) needs to be selected according to actual requirements based on cost and volume considerations; meanwhile, voltage fluctuation caused by abnormal factors of a power grid is considered, characteristic current is increased directly due to rising fluctuation of the power grid voltage and may exceed IDSMAX, and the overcurrent protection circuit 5 can solve the problem and effectively protect an IGBT switch.

In summary, the characteristic current generating circuit provided in this embodiment uses an IGBT as a switch, and uses a PTC as a load to generate a characteristic current (millisecond pulse current signal), and the control signal is isolated by an opto-coupler. The 220V mains supply circuit effectively inhibits surge impact by adopting the combination of an inductor and a piezoresistor, and a voltage monitoring system is designed for overcurrent protection, so that the safety of the whole IGBT power grid can be effectively protected. The technical effects are as follows: the characteristic current generating circuit has high circuit safety and can effectively avoid power grid faults; the IGBT is adopted as the switch, so that the circuit has high flexibility; moreover, the circuit equipment is small in size and can be embedded into the equipment terminal well.
