Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of contactors, in particular to a contactor winding undervoltage protection module. Background Art

[0002] The contactor needs to achieve wide voltage range pull-in. If the single-winding contactor wants to achieve wide voltage range pull-in, the winding power needs to be relatively high, but the release voltage is relatively low. For the double-winding contactor, the pull-in winding has fewer turns and the holding winding has more turns. The pull-in winding is energized at the moment of connection. After connection, the pull-in winding and the holding winding are energized, and the auxiliary contact is disconnected. Therefore, it will not overheat during long-term operation. However, if the power supply voltage is low and the pull-in force is insufficient, the pull-in winding will be energized, but the auxiliary contact cannot be disconnected, so that the contactor start winding is always in a high current state or the contactor is repeatedly switched in the start-up hold state. After a long time, it will cause the start winding to burn or the auxiliary contact to stick. At present, most undervoltage protection circuits are judged by voltage sampling and voltage comparison through chips or comparators. The circuit is relatively complex and the reliability is low.
