The main function of this device in the circuit is current limiting to prevent the subsequent circuit from being damaged by instantaneous high voltage breakdown. RN7, RN8, and RN9 are thick film resistors, which form an RC filter current limiting circuit with the CN2 high-voltage capacitor.
[0032] DN10 and DN11 are high-power TVS tubes. The main function of this device in the circuit is to adjust the clamping voltage value. RN10 is a thick film resistor.

The main function of this device in the circuit is to balance the current flowing through EN1 and EN2.
[0033] The working process of the double high-voltage clamping protection rectifier filter circuit for electric energy meters is as follows:
[0034] When the three-phase AC input voltage of 1-UA, UB, UC, UN is at the normal voltage of 1.2UN, the voltage passes through the filter circuit composed of LN1, CN22, LN2, CN23 and LN3, CN24, and then passes through the composite thermistors RN4, RN5, RN6; because the voltage is within the normal range, the above composite thermistors are in action and there is no high-voltage clamping protection; then, the AC voltage is rectified by the three-phase full-wave rectifier circuit composed of DN1, DN2, DN3, DN4, DN5, DN6, DN7, DN8, and the AC voltage is rectified into a pulsed DC voltage; after the pulsed DC voltage is filtered and stored in the primary filter of CN1, the common-mode interference signal is filtered out through the common-mode inductor; the DC voltage passes through QN1, RN7, RN8, RN9, CN2 The high-voltage clamping circuit composed of DN10, DN11, RN10, DN9 and other devices does not work because the input AC voltage is within the normal range and the DC voltage after rectification and filtering is also within the normal range; the DC voltage all flows into the EN1, EN2 energy storage filter capacitors to obtain the voltage HVCC;
[0035] When the 2-UA, UB, UC, UN three-phase AC input voltage is in the normal voltage range of 1.2UN to 1.5UN, the voltage passes through the filter circuit composed of LN1, CN22, LN2, CN23 and LN3, CN24, and then passes through the composite thermistors RN4, RN5, RN6; since the voltage is within the non-operating range of the composite thermistor, the composite thermistor does not operate and there is no high-voltage clamping protection; subsequently, the AC voltage is rectified by the three-phase full-wave rectifier circuit composed of DN1, DN2, DN3, DN4, DN5, DN6, DN7, DN8 to rectify the AC voltage into a pulse DC voltage; after the pulse DC voltage is filtered and stored in the primary filter of CN1, the common-mode interference signal is filtered out by the common-mode inductor; the DC voltage passes through QN1, RN7, RN8, RN9, CN2 The high-voltage clamping circuit composed of DN10, DN11, RN10, DN9 and other devices, because the input AC voltage is out of range, the voltage after rectification and filtering has reached the MOS tube high-voltage clamping threshold, so this part of the circuit is activated to open the clamping protection, and the MOS tube device bears a certain part of the voltage; the remaining unclamped voltage flows into the EN1, EN2 energy storage filter capacitors to obtain the voltage HVCC;
[0036] When the 3-UA, UB, UC, UN three-phase AC input voltage is within the normal voltage range of 1.5UN to 2.0UN, the voltage passes through the filter circuit composed of LN1, CN22, LN2, CN23 and LN3, CN24, and then passes through the composite thermistors RN4, RN5, RN6; since the AC voltage reaches the composite thermistor action range, the composite thermistor action turns on the high-voltage clamping protection; the unclamped part of the voltage is rectified by the three-phase full-wave rectifier circuit composed of DN1, DN2, DN3, DN4, DN5, DN6, DN7, DN8, and the AC voltage is rectified into a pulsed DC voltage; after the pulsed DC voltage is filtered and stored by the primary filter of CN1, the common-mode interference signal is filtered out by the common-mode inductor; the DC voltage passes through the high-voltage clamping circuit composed of QN1, RN7, RN8, RN9, CN2 DN10, DN11, RN10, DN9 and other devices. Since the input AC voltage is out of range, there are two cases at this time:
[0037] a The voltage after rectification and filtering has reached the high-voltage clamping threshold of the MOS tube, so this part of the circuit is activated to turn on the clamping protection, and the MOS tube device bears a certain part of the voltage; the remaining unclamped voltage flows into the EN1 and EN2 energy storage filter capacitors to obtain the voltage HVCC;
[0038] b. The voltage after rectification and filtering does not reach the high-voltage clamping threshold of the MOS tube, so the clamping protection is not turned on in this part of the circuit, and the remaining unclamped voltage flows into the EN1 and EN2 energy storage filter capacitors to obtain the voltage HVCC;
[0039] The utility model uses an ingenious circuit design to combine the RN4, RN5, RN6 composite thermistor clamping protection circuit with the MOS tube clamping protection circuit to clamp different abnormal AC voltage input points; MOS tube clamping protection is used for 1.2UN to 1.5UN, and composite thermistor clamping protection is used for 1.5UN to 2.0UN. In this way, the double clamping protection method can increase the power of the clamping circuit; the utility model can be applied to other industries or circuits with higher power by adjusting and selecting different composite thermistors; clamping protection of different voltage ranges can be designed by adjusting and selecting QN1, DN10, DN11 parameters;
[0040] The present invention is fully described for a clearer disclosure, and the prior art will not be listed one by one.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it; although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments, or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents; it is obvious for those skilled in the art to combine multiple technical solutions of the utility model. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model.
