Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thyristor protection for soft starters, in particular to a thyristor protection circuit for soft starters. Background Art
[0002] A soft starter is a motor monitoring device that integrates motor soft start, soft stop and multiple protection functions. Its main circuit consists of a three-phase reverse parallel gate connected in series between the power supply and the controlled motor, a protection circuit connected in parallel at both ends of the thyristor (silicon controlled rectifier), and an associated control circuit. The general thyristor protection circuit uses an RC absorption circuit, which has two major functions: 1. Suppress the peak of harmonics in the power grid to prevent the thyristor from being broken down by excessive voltage; 2. Reduce the critical rise rate of the off-state voltage to prevent the thyristor from being mis-conducted. Therefore, the value of RC becomes particularly important. In some sites, in order to avoid problems with a certain soft starter affecting the progress of other work in the company, a solution of using several for one is used for design, and a certain soft starter is regularly switched as a backup device to ensure the reliability of the system. The backup soft starter is in hot standby state. Once a soft starter in the system has a problem and stops, the backup soft starter will immediately enter the working state. During soft start hot standby, the RC equivalent circuit connected in parallel at both ends of the three-phase thyristor is equivalent to a group of star-connected RC connected to the three-phase power grid. In order to suppress the amount of harmonics generated to the power grid during the soft start process, the capacitance value is generally greater than the value that only satisfies the reduction of the critical voltage rise rate. Therefore, the capacitance reactance of the capacitor is small. In addition, the hot standby state makes the soft start connected to the power grid for a long time, and the power consumed by the resistor R will increase (the cold standby state soft start is disconnected from the power grid, and RC will not consume power. It only works during the start and stop process, which lasts for tens of seconds to several minutes. The temperature of the resistor has not yet completely risen, and the relevant process has been completed), causing serious heating of the resistor. In order to ensure that the heat of the resistor will not affect the life of the capacitor (in order to achieve a better absorption effect, the RC will be closer, and the connection with the heat sink will be as short as possible, and the heat of R will be easily transferred to C), the selected resistor power will be several times the actual power, so as to reduce the temperature rise of the resistor. The volume of the resistor will increase a lot, resulting in an increase in the volume of the equipment and an increase in cost.
[0003] The current soft start hot standby solution will cause the RC to absorb a large amount of power in the hot standby state, thereby increasing unnecessary losses in the power grid, and the product cost and volume will increase. Utility Model Content

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of this specification discloses a thyristor protection circuit of a soft starter, including thyristor SCR1, thyristor SCR2, resistor R1, capacitor C1, capacitor C2 and switch K;
[0027] One end of the resistor R1 is connected to the anode of the thyristor SCR1 and the cathode of the thyristor SCR2 and then connected to an external power supply. The cathode of the thyristor SCR1 is connected to one end of the capacitor C1, one end of the capacitor C2 and the anode of the thyristor SCR2 and then connected to an external controlled motor.

The control electrode of the thyristor SCR1 and the control electrode of the thyristor SCR2 are respectively connected to an external processor circuit.
[0028] In this embodiment, thyristor SCR1 and thyristor SCR2 correspond to a processor circuit respectively, and each is controlled to be turned on or off by the processor circuit; when soft starting is working, closing switch K and connecting capacitor C2 in parallel with capacitor C1 can effectively reduce the loss of hot standby, reduce the power of the resistance value, and reduce the heat generation.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of this specification also discloses a thyristor protection circuit of a soft starter, including thyristor SCR3, thyristor SCR4, resistor R6, resistor R7, capacitor C6, capacitor C7 and switch S;
[0030] One end of the resistor R6 is connected to the anode of the thyristor SCR3, one end of the switch S and the cathode of the thyristor SCR4 and then connected to an external power supply.

[0031] In this embodiment, thyristor SCR3 and thyristor SCR4 correspond to a processor circuit respectively, and each is controlled to be turned on or off by the processor circuit; when soft starting is working, closing switch S, connecting resistor R7 and capacitor C7 in parallel with resistor R6 and capacitor C6, can effectively reduce the loss of hot standby, reduce the power of the resistance value, and reduce the heat generation.
[0032] In some embodiments of this specification, Figure 2 As shown, the processor circuit includes a processor, an input terminal P1, an output terminal P2, a resistor R2, a resistor R3, a resistor R4, a resistor R5, a capacitor C3, a capacitor C4, a capacitor C5 and an operational amplifier U1;
