Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of power frequency transformers, in particular to a bias current detection circuit for a single-phase power frequency transformer. Background Art

[0002] Single-phase power frequency transformer is a core component widely used in power conversion equipment. In addition to voltage conversion and energy transmission, single-phase power frequency transformer also has the advantages of fault isolation and load impact resistance. It is a necessary component in inverters, uninterruptible power supplies, and converter products.

[0003] Products with single-phase power frequency transformers (such as inverters) will inevitably have bias problems in actual use. At present, the main method for detecting the bias current of a single-phase power frequency transformer is to collect the primary current and secondary current of the single-phase power frequency transformer, and then use software algorithms to calculate the current bias current. However, in high-power inverters, the primary current of a single-phase power frequency transformer is as high as several hundred amperes, so the overcurrent specifications of the Hall current sensor required to collect the primary current are high and expensive; and the bias current is calculated through the software algorithm in the MCU processor, resulting in a certain deviation between the calculated bias current and the actual bias current, which makes it difficult to completely eliminate the bias current even after subsequent software control.

[0004] In view of the existence of the above problems, it is necessary to study a single-phase power frequency transformer bias current detection circuit, which has low cost and can accurately detect the bias current. Summary of the invention

[0008] The current sampling circuit further includes a resistor R2, and two ends of the resistor R2 are respectively connected to a first connection end and a second connection end of the current sampling circuit.

[0009] The single-phase power frequency transformer bias current detection circuit also includes a DC bias circuit, which is connected to the output end of the amplifier circuit.

[0010] The DC bias circuit includes a resistor R8 and a capacitor C4, a first end of the resistor R8 and a first end of the capacitor C4 are connected to the output end of the amplifier circuit, a second end of the resistor R8 is connected to a bias power supply VREF, and a second end of the capacitor C4 is grounded.

[0011] The amplifier circuit includes resistor R3, resistor R4, resistor R5, resistor R6, resistor R7 and operational amplifier U1; the first end of resistor R3 is connected to the non-inverting input end of the amplifier circuit, the second end of resistor R3 and the first end of resistor R5 are connected to the non-inverting input end of operational amplifier U1, the first end of resistor R4 is connected to the inverting input end of the amplifier circuit, the second end of resistor R4 and the first end of resistor R6 are connected to the inverting input end of operational amplifier U1, the second end of resistor R5 and the output end of operational amplifier U1 are connected to the output end of the amplifier circuit, the power supply end of operational amplifier U1 is connected to the positive power supply VCC+, and the ground end of operational amplifier U1 and the second end of resistor R6 are grounded.

[0012] The amplifier circuit further includes a capacitor C2 connected in parallel with the resistor R5.

[0013] The amplifier circuit also includes a capacitor C1 and a capacitor C3. The two ends of the capacitor C1 are respectively connected to the in-phase input terminal and the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1. The first end of the capacitor C3 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1. The second end of the capacitor C3 is grounded.

[0014] The single-phase power frequency transformer bias current detection circuit also includes a first clamp circuit and a second clamp circuit.

[0015] The first clamping circuit includes a diode D1 and a diode D2, wherein the positive electrode of the diode D1 is connected to the negative power supply VCC-, the negative electrode of the diode D2 is connected to the positive power supply VCC+, and the positive electrode of the diode D2 and the negative electrode of the diode D1 are connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1; the second clamping circuit includes a diode D3 and a diode D4, wherein the positive electrode of the diode D3 is connected to the negative power supply VCC-, the negative electrode of the diode D4 is connected to the positive power supply VCC+, and the positive electrode of the diode D4 and the negative electrode of the diode D3 are connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1; the voltages of the positive power supply VCC+ and the negative power supply VCC- are opposite.

[0016] After adopting the above scheme, the working principle of the present invention is: Since the first winding Np and the second winding Ns of the sampling transformer are wound in opposite directions, the current direction of the first winding Np and the current direction of the second winding Ns are opposite, and thus the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the first winding Np and the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the second winding Ns have the characteristic of opposite directions; When the single-phase power frequency transformer has no bias magnetism, the current magnitude of the first winding Np is the same as the current magnitude of the second winding Ns (that is, the primary loop current and the secondary loop current of the single-phase power frequency transformer are the same). At this time, the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the first winding Np and the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the second winding Ns have the characteristics of the same magnetic flux magnitude and opposite magnetic flux direction, so that the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the first winding Np and the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the second winding Ns cancel each other out. At this time, the sampling winding N1 has no induced magnetic flux, so that the current of the sampling winding N1 is zero; When the single-phase power frequency transformer is biased, the current magnitude of the first winding Np is different from the current magnitude of the second winding Ns (that is, the primary loop current and the secondary loop current of the single-phase power frequency transformer are different). At this time, the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the first winding Np and the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the second winding Ns have the characteristics of different flux magnitudes and opposite flux directions. In this way, after the magnetic flux that does not belong to the bias part is offset, the remaining magnetic flux causes the sampling winding N1 to form an induced current. The magnitude of the induced current is the magnitude of the bias current to be detected. In this way, the bias current detection circuit of the single-phase power frequency transformer of the present invention samples and amplifies the induced current of the sampling winding N1 through the current sampling circuit and the amplifier circuit, and then obtains a bias current detection signal corresponding to the induced current of the sampling winding N1. The bias current detection signal is input into the MCU processor, so that the MCU processor can obtain the magnitude of the bias current to be detected.

[0017] From the above, it can be seen that the present invention does not need to use a Hall current sensor to detect the bias current, which has lower costs; moreover, the present invention directly collects the induced current with the same magnitude as the bias current, so that the bias current can be detected more accurately. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] The working principle of the present invention is: Since the first winding Np and the second winding Ns of the sampling transformer are wound in opposite directions, the current direction of the first winding Np and the current direction of the second winding Ns are opposite, and thus the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the first winding Np and the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the second winding Ns have the characteristic of opposite directions; When the single-phase power frequency transformer has no bias magnetism, the current magnitude of the first winding Np is the same as the current magnitude of the second winding Ns (that is, the primary loop current and the secondary loop current of the single-phase power frequency transformer are the same). At this time, the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the first winding Np and the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the second winding Ns have the characteristics of the same magnetic flux magnitude and opposite magnetic flux direction, so that the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the first winding Np and the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the second winding Ns cancel each other out. At this time, the sampling winding N1 has no induced magnetic flux, so that the current of the sampling winding N1 is zero; When the single-phase power frequency transformer is biased, the current magnitude of the first winding Np is different from the current magnitude of the second winding Ns (that is, the primary loop current and the secondary loop current of the single-phase power frequency transformer are different). At this time, the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the first winding Np and the magnetic flux of the magnetic field generated by the second winding Ns have the characteristics of different flux magnitudes and opposite flux directions. In this way, after the magnetic flux that does not belong to the bias part is offset, the remaining magnetic flux causes the sampling winding N1 to form an induced current. The magnitude of the induced current is the magnitude of the bias current to be detected. In this way, the bias current detection circuit of the single-phase power frequency transformer of the present invention samples and amplifies the induced current of the sampling winding N1 through the current sampling circuit and the amplifier circuit, and then obtains a bias current detection signal corresponding to the induced current of the sampling winding N1. The bias current detection signal is input into the MCU processor, so that the MCU processor can obtain the magnitude of the bias current to be detected.

[0022] From the above, it can be seen that the present invention does not need to use a Hall current sensor to detect the bias current, which has lower costs; moreover, the present invention directly collects the induced current with the same magnitude as the bias current, so that the bias current can be detected more accurately.
