This application discloses a circuit device and method for monitoring the status of a light-controlled
thyristor and reporting
overvoltage protection. The device includes a BOD (Browser
Overvoltage) action and
overvoltage event identification and reporting unit and a passive
thyristor status monitoring unit connected in parallel across the two ends of the light-controlled
thyristor pair within the switch. The BOD action and
overvoltage event identification and reporting unit uses an external BOD mirror to reflect the internal protection threshold and utilizes back-end logic to intelligently identify signals, simultaneously achieving reliable reporting of BOD overvoltage protection actions and independent detection of unexpected
system overvoltage events. The high-capacitive
reactance circuit of the passive thyristor status monitoring unit enables low-power, passive online monitoring of the light-controlled thyristor status, directly indicating the health of the light-controlled thyristor component. This application integrates three major functions: real-time component status monitoring, BOD protection action reporting, and intelligent overvoltage event identification. It features full
fiber optic isolation, passive high reliability, and is an innovative front-end sensing and intelligent monitoring and reporting solution specifically designed for railway automatic phase-splitting electronic switches.
