Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to an IGBT overcurrent protection device and method for a PFC circuit. Background technique [0002] At present, most household and similar frequency conversion appliances such as frequency conversion air conditioners and refrigerators are designed with a PFC circuit after the rectifier circuit and before the inverter circuit in order to improve the power factor. Household appliances usually use Boost-type PFC circuits, mainly including PFC inductors, IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors, insulated gate bipolar transistors), and fast recovery diodes. IGBT is a key device for correcting current waveform, improving power factor, and increasing DC voltage. Overcurrent, overvoltage, and overheating damage are the main damage mechanisms of IGBT, and overcurrent damage accounts for the highest proportion. Therefore, it is necessary to design a fast response, with It is ...
