A high-voltage isolation circuit and its application method, impedance correction method

This invention discloses a high-voltage isolation circuit and its usage method, as well as an impedance correction method. Utilizing the characteristic of capacitors to pass high frequencies and block low frequencies, a capacitor Cs is connected in series in the isolation circuit. Cs suppresses high-frequency power voltage without affecting the test signals sent by the BIS equipment. This achieves the goal of isolating normal high-frequency power voltage and protecting the BIS test equipment while allowing the BIS equipment test signals to be injected and returned. When a fault arc occurs, the MCU controls the series inductor matrix to adjust the inductance value so that the isolation circuit generates series resonance at the frequency corresponding to the arc signal with the highest energy, thereby achieving high-energy arc signal isolation and protecting the BIS test equipment. During testing, since the BIS is frequency-adjustable, the test signal frequency band is set to exclude the frequency corresponding to the arc signal with the highest energy. This further enables the isolation of high-frequency, high-energy arc signals, protection of the BIS test equipment, and the simultaneous injection and return of the BIS equipment test signals.
