Problems solved by technology

There are two main defects: 1) If the abnormal load is not ruled out, the electronic circuit will be in an overload state for a long time, and all the overload power will generate a high heat source inside the electric energy meter, which will cause the internal temperature of the electric meter to rise, reduce the reliability of the electric energy meter, and cause waste of energy
Even in a high-temperature environment, it will cause overheating and burning of the electric energy meter; 2) The recovery speed is slow. When the load is abnormally removed, the heat of the internal electronic devices needs to be dissipated slowly, and it takes tens of minutes or even Longer time, unable to return to normal immediately

Abstract

One embodiment of the invention provides a load over-current protection circuit through design, and the load over-current protection circuit is used for over-current / under-current control of an external load of electric power acquisition equipment. The load over-current protection circuit is arranged between a load power supply end and multiple grounding ends. The load over-current protection circuit comprises a voltage sampling part which is arranged to be close to the grounding ends and used for acquiring a DC current signal flowing through the grounding ends and converting the DC current signal into a first voltage signal; a voltage multiplying conversion circuit which is connected with the voltage sampling part and receives the first voltage signal and converts the first voltage signal into a second voltage signal to be outputted; a comparator which receives the second voltage signal via a positive phase input end and compares the second voltage signal with a third voltage signal inputted to the negative phase input end of a return difference comparator so as to output a switch control signal; and an MOS switch which connects or disconnects the path of the external load according to the outputted switch control signal. Correspondingly, another embodiment of the invention provides an over-current protection circuit used for the electric power acquisition equipment through design.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to power system control technology, more specifically, an overcurrent protection circuit designed to effectively suppress overcurrent and overload of loads designed for power collection equipment (such as electric meters). Background technique [0002] In the general technology in the field related to the present invention, overcurrent and overload protection is required for the load end of the power collection equipment. Usually, on the one hand, a ceramic PTC (positive temperature coefficient) thermistor or a polymer PTC (positive temperature coefficient) thermistor is used to realize overcurrent protection. There are three main defects: 1) The recovery speed of the protection is slow, depending on the degree to which the current exceeds the limit value, it generally takes several seconds or even several minutes to act. Even repeated oscillations cannot achieve protection. The recovery speed is slow. ...
