Electric arc fault protection device verifying attachment
Technical field
The present invention relates to electronics, electric equipment safeguard protection field, especially a kind of electric arc fault protection apparatus.
Background technology
Along with the develop rapidly of economy and the raising of people's lives, power consumption is also in continuous increase.Electrical Safety comprises personal safety and prevents from leaking electricity or fire that arc fault causes, day by day is subject to people and payes attention to.The fire that arc fault causes accounts for more than 60% in all electrical fires, so people improve gradually to the attention degree of low-voltage electrical safety and electric arc fault protection.
Electric arc is to cross over the continuous discharge phenomenon of certain insulating medium between two electrodes, often is accompanied by the part volatilization of electrode.Typical electric arc is to form in the airspace between yin, yang the two poles of the earth.Arc center's temperature is generally 5000 to 15000 degrees centigrade.The zone that electric arc exists can produce very high ionization air pressure, and what cause that electric arc limited to all can discharge hot gas and electrode substance particle Anywhere.
Electric arc on circuit can be divided into two kinds, and a kind of is normal operation arc, claims that " good arc " another kind is fault electric arc, claims " bad arc "." good arc " refers to the arc that motor rotation (as electric drill, suction cleaner etc.) produces, and when people's device for switching, the arc that produces during plugging electric also belongs to " good arc " in addition." bad arc " is fault electric arc, and fault electric arc generally results from two kinds of situations: 1. along insulator part conductive surface; 2. result from two electrodes that approach very much.The former is heated for a long time due to insulator or the contingency electric spark occurs, and causes the insulating surface carbonization and forms arc channel; The latter is because electric conductor is run into ground conduit, or in a branch of conductor, part is hurt insulation by sharp-pointed metallic object.In the low pressure power and distribution supply cable, series arc faults, Line To Line arc fault and line arc fault is over the ground arranged.
Traditional electric arc fault protection device generally includes signal gathering unit, microprocessor unit, electrical apparatus release unit and power circuit unit; Wherein, signal gathering unit is for the current signal that gathers electric circuit; Microprocessor unit is connected with signal gathering unit, be used for to receive the signal that signal gathering unit collects, and judge whether have fault electric arc in circuit, and according to judged result control electrical apparatus release disconnecting circuit whether; Described microprocessor unit has the arc fault detection module; The electrical apparatus release unit is connected with microprocessor, is used for disconnecting circuit when arc fault occurs electric circuit, thereby plays the effect of holding circuit; The power circuit unit is used to signal gathering unit, microprocessor unit and electrical apparatus release unit that power supply is provided.
Yet, if the electric arc fault protection device itself exists defective, erroneous judgement in use easily appears, normal operation arc is judged as fault electric arc, the easily normal productive life running of impact; If fault electric arc is judged as normal operation arc, very easy accidents caused, cause casualties difficult to the appraisal or property loss.

Embodiment
In order to make those skilled in the art person understand better technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with drawings and embodiments.
As shown in Figure 1, electric arc fault protection device verifying attachment of the present invention comprises simulation electric arc module, output interface and power module.
Wherein simulate the electric arc module and be used for simulated failure electric arc; Output interface is connected with simulation electric arc module, is used for connecting outside electric arc fault protection device to be detected, and will simulate the current signal that the electric arc module simulates and be passed to this electric arc fault protection device; Power module is connected with simulation electric arc module and output interface respectively, is used for providing power supply.
Described simulation electric arc module comprises two groups of NPN triode groups and single-chip microcomputer.
Wherein, every group of triode group includes the triode of two reverse parallel connections, a resistance and a LED lamp.
Two resistance differences in two groups of triode groups are in the resistance line attachment of different resistances, so that the output voltage values of output interface is different.Two groups of triode groups are switched the duty of this verifying attachment by receiving the different pulse train of single-chip microcomputer.The duty of this verifying attachment comprises two kinds of normal condition and test status, and wherein the waveform of simulation electric arc module output simulated failure electric arc during test status, export normal waveform during normal condition.
The color of two LED lamps is different, can be respectively red and green, and the lamp of different colours lights this verifying attachment of expression and is in different duties.
