Abstract

PURPOSE:To certainly detect the fault of a rectifier, by detecting that the voltage-current characteristic of the rectifier is out of allowable range. CONSTITUTION:When overvoltage is detected by an overvoltage detecting circuit 1A in a logic circuit 1, then the output of a level H is contrived to be generated for example, and the input of the output, to one side of a first OR gate 1-1 in the logical circuit 1 is provided. Accordingly, when a fault due to an overvoltage mode is generated, then the output of the first OR gate 1-1 comes to the level H, and the output of a second OR gate 1-2 also comes to the level H. By the level H signal, alarm is generated on a rectifier 2, or the rectifier 2 is stopped.

Conventional technology and its problems DC power supply devices that supply DC output to loads while charging storage batteries are becoming more and more popular due to demands for power saving of loads and miniaturization of devices.
Unit-type rectifiers have come into use in which multiple rectifiers can be connected in parallel, and the number of units connected in parallel can be increased or decreased to accommodate increases or decreases in load capacity. On the other hand, in such devices, a blocking diode has traditionally been inserted on the output side of the rectifier, but in recent years it has become necessary to insert a blocking diode because it causes a decrease in the output voltage accuracy and efficiency of the rectifier. Increasingly, it is being used without In such a case, a fault detection circuit, for example an undervoltage detection circuit, installed in the rectifier will detect other normal connected rectifiers even if the rectifier fails and the output voltage becomes zero. Since the output voltage from the rectifier and the voltage of the storage battery are being applied to the undervoltage detection circuit, the undervoltage detection circuit does not operate, giving the impression that it is normal even if it is faulty, or even if the rectifier is in normal condition. This has the disadvantage that current flows into the circuit, causing the current detection circuit to malfunction.

Failure due to overvoltage mode occurs when the control function of the output voltage of the rectifier @'62 is destroyed, and the output terminals 3 and 6'
This is to prevent overvoltage from being applied to the load connected between the logic circuit 1 and the logic circuit 1. If an overvoltage is detected by one overvoltage detection circuit in the logic circuit 1, an H level output is generated. , this output is input to one of the first OR gates 1-1 in the logic circuit 1. Next, the overcurrent

This H level signal is configured to generate an alarm for the rectifier 21c or stop the rectifier 2. Next, failures due to undervoltage and undercurrent mode occur when the control function of the output voltage of rectifier 2 becomes abnormal.
Unless there is an abnormality in the load connected between the output terminals 3 and 3', failures due to the two undervoltage and undercurrent modes occur simultaneously. That is, when an undercurrent is detected by the undercurrent detection circuit 1C, for example, the output of the circuit 1C is configured to become H level, and when an undervoltage is detected by the undervoltage detection circuit 1D, for example, the output of the circuit 1D is The output is configured to be at H level. and each circuit 1
The outputs of 0 and ID are input to AND gates 1-3, respectively, and are ANDed so that the other of the second OR gates 1-2 becomes I level only when failures due to undervoltage and undercurrent modes occur simultaneously. The output of gate 1-3 is input to the other of the second OR gates 1-2. Therefore, when a failure occurs due to undervoltage or undercurrent mode, the output of the second OR gate 1-2 becomes extremely low and the configuration is configured such that an alarm is generated in the rectifier 2 or the rectifier 2 is stopped. be able to.
