Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of low-voltage electrical technology, and more particularly to a circuit board for an electronic miniature circuit breaker. Background Technology

[0002] Existing overvoltage and undervoltage circuit breakers provide overcurrent protection, which mainly involves determining whether a fault has occurred in the load downstream of the circuit breaker.

[0003] Traditional thermal-magnetic circuit breakers lack voltage monitoring capabilities. Voltage monitoring involves monitoring the power grid voltage, enabling timely disconnection to protect the load in case of overvoltage or undervoltage hazards. Traditional circuit breakers cannot identify voltage waveform signals during closing, failing to guarantee closing at the voltage zero-crossing point, and also cannot guarantee opening at the current zero-crossing point. Furthermore, their mechanical lifespan is limited to tens of thousands of cycles, making them unsuitable for scenarios requiring frequent closing and opening. Their electrical lifespan, when operating under load (ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of cycles), is also inconsistent, making them unsuitable for locations requiring frequent load-based closing and opening.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention needs to provide a device that has the instantaneous and current overload performance of a traditional circuit breaker, and can solve the current protection lacking in existing over / under voltage protectors. Summary of the Invention

[0071] In this embodiment, such as Figure 11 As shown, the circuit board of this invention is applied in a practical circuit breaker. When the circuit breaker is powered on, the logic processing circuit collects the zero-crossing signal pulse, counts it using an internal timer, and calculates the current grid frequency based on the timing. The calculated grid frequency is used to calculate the current and voltage sampling cycle interval by collecting 64 points per cycle. The current and voltage signals collected by the logic processing circuit are calculated to reconstruct the current current and voltage waveforms. The logic processing circuit calculates the true values ​​of the current current and voltage from the collected signals and uses these true values ​​to determine whether the circuit breaker is in an overvoltage, undervoltage, or overcurrent state, and implements protection logic based on the fault state. When tripping is required, the zero-crossing detection circuit detects the zero-crossing point and then controls the relay to trip at the current zero-crossing point, which can effectively suppress the generation of arcs and extend electrical life. The logic processing circuit collects the signal converted by the voltage sampling circuit, reconstructs the current voltage waveform from the collected data, and when closing is required, it determines the peak, trough, and zero-crossing point by reconstructing the waveform, and controls the relay to close at the voltage zero-crossing point, which can effectively reduce the inrush current.

[0074] This LED indicator circuit is used to indicate the status of the circuit breaker. It is controlled by a logic processing circuit to achieve fault status indication.

[0075] The reference voltage circuit converts the supply voltage VCC2 into a reference voltage VCC3. The voltage VCC2 is then reduced to VCC3 by a voltage regulator circuit. The reference voltage VCC3 provides a reference voltage for the voltage and current sampling circuits. This reference voltage is added to the negative half-cycle signals acquired by the voltage and current sampling circuits, ultimately ensuring that the voltages of the secondary waveforms are all positive, allowing the logic processing circuit to correctly acquire the signals.

[0076] The voltage sampling circuit is used to convert the voltage signal into a voltage signal that can be recognized by the logic processing circuit by combining the operational amplifier with the reference voltage circuit. The provided signal is then processed by the logic processing circuit to convert the electrical signal into a digital signal.
