[0023] Specifically, the preset leakage threshold can be a reference voltage. If the effective value or peak value of the amplified signal exceeds this reference voltage, a pulse is generated. The specific principle is a function already existing in current leakage protectors and will not be elaborated further.

[0024] The filtering module is used to filter the comparison signal to obtain a trigger signal and send it to the trigger module.

[0025] Specifically, the filtering module can use methods such as Kalman filtering or mean filtering for filtering operations.

[0026] The trigger module is used to generate a drive signal according to the trigger signal and send it to the drive module.

[0027] Specifically, the trigger module obtains the first duration t1 and the second duration t3 of the trigger signal; among them, please refer to Figure 2 , the first duration t1 is the duration of any high-level segment of the trigger signal, and the second duration t3 is the sum of the durations of any two consecutive high-level segments of the trigger signal and the duration of the intermediate low-level segment; a drive signal is generated according to the first duration t1 and the second duration t3.

[0028] Specifically, the trigger module is used to, when the first duration is less than the preset high-level threshold, send the first signal as the drive signal to the drive module; the first signal includes a high-level segment with a duration equal to the preset high-level threshold.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 2 For the first triggering case in, when t1 of the trigger signal DF is less than the preset high-level threshold t2, the output drive signal DOUT is a signal with only one high-level segment with a length of t2, and the rest of the time is all low-level.

[0030] Specifically, the trigger module is further used to, when the second duration t3 is less than the preset period threshold, send the first signal as the drive signal to the drive module; among them, the preset period threshold is equal to the sum of the preset high-level threshold t2 and the preset low-level threshold t4.

[0034] Furthermore, the triggering module is specifically configured to, when the first duration or the second duration is greater than the preset period threshold multiplied by N and N is greater than 2, send the third signal as the driving signal to the driving module; the third signal includes multiple signal periods, and a signal period is a high level with a duration of the preset high-level threshold and a low level with a duration of the preset low-level threshold.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 For the fourth triggering situation, when the triggering signal DF satisfies the first duration t1 > N×(t2 + t4) or the second duration t3 > N×(t2 + t4), where N is greater than 2, the output driving signal DOUT is a periodic signal, and each period consists of a high level with a duration of the preset high-level threshold t2 and a low level with a duration of the preset low-level threshold t4.

Then, the triggering module generates a driving signal according to the filtered triggering signal to control the driving module to trip, rather than directly broadening the triggering signal. This can not only prevent the driving signal from being too short and making the tripping action of the protection switch unstable, but also prevent the thyristor and the protection switch from working continuously for a long time due to the driving signal being too long, reduce the probability of device burnout, and improve the service life.
