Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of charging devices, and in particular to a charging current limiting device, method and main control circuit. Background Art

[0002] When the DC bus is charged, the current limiting resistor is used to reduce the current when the bus capacitor is charged. Since the bus capacitor is large, the voltage across the capacitor is zero when the power is connected. Therefore, the charging current of the bus capacitor is very large at the moment of power-on. Excessive current will damage the rectifier bridge diode. To protect the rectifier bridge, a high-power charging resistor is connected in series to the DC bus to limit the charging current at the moment of power-on. When the capacitor voltage reaches a certain level, the charging resistor is short-circuited by a relay or a diode. However, the current limiting resistor generates severe heat during charging, which will reduce the efficiency of the electrical equipment. If the grid voltage fluctuates too much, the ambient temperature is too high, or the charging time is too long, the charging resistor will burn out. Summary of the invention
