[0018] The above scheme is further described below in conjunction with specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are used to illustrate the present application and are not limited to the scope of the present application. The implementation conditions adopted in the examples can be further adjusted according to the conditions of the specific manufacturer, and the implementation conditions not specified are usually the conditions in conventional experiments.
[0019] Embodiment: An electronic switch for preventing high voltage breakdown, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes a shell 1, a cover plate 101, a main board 2, a control unit 3, a low-voltage switch 4, a high-voltage switch 5, an electrical isolator 6 and a surge absorption unit. The shell 1 and the cover plate 101 are detachably connected to facilitate users to install, repair and replace components. The main board 2 is fixedly connected to the shell 1, and the control unit 3, the low-voltage switch 4, the high-voltage switch 5, the electrical isolator 6 and the surge absorption unit are respectively arranged at different positions on the main board 2.
[0020] The low voltage switch 4 uses an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), and the high voltage switch 5 uses a solid state relay (SSR), which are connected in series to form a main path of the circuit.
[0021] Among them, the control unit 3 is electrically connected to the low-voltage switch 4 and the high-voltage switch 5. The control unit 3 is the core of the entire switch system, responsible for receiving external signals and controlling the on and off states of the low-voltage switch 4 and the high-voltage switch 5 according to preset parameters or instructions.
[0022] Among them, the electrical isolator 6 is located between the low-voltage switch 4 and the high-voltage switch 5 to achieve electrical isolation between high and low voltages. The electrical isolator 6 adopts a photoelectric coupler, which transmits control signals through optical signals to ensure that the control signals on the low-voltage side will not directly affect the high-voltage side, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the system.
[0023] The surge absorption unit includes a varistor 7 and a gas discharge tube 8. The surge absorption unit is connected in parallel between the input terminal and the ground terminal of the mainboard 2. The surge absorption unit can quickly respond and absorb surge energy to ensure that the circuit can still maintain stable operation under surge impact.
[0024] The housing 1 and the cover plate 101 are both made of high-performance insulating materials such as polyimide or polytetrafluoroethylene to ensure the overall insulating performance of the electronic switch.
[0025] The housing 1 is filled with sulfur hexafluoride gas or insulating oil, which further improves the insulation capacity and withstand voltage performance of the electronic switch.
[0026] Working principle: When the control unit 3 receives the start command, it will first turn on the low-voltage switch 4, and then the high-voltage switch 5 will also be turned on, thereby forming a complete current path; when the circuit needs to be cut off, the control unit 3 will first disconnect the high-voltage switch 5, and then disconnect the low-voltage switch 4 to ensure that the circuit is safely disconnected; when a surge (overvoltage) occurs at the input end of the motherboard, the varistor 7 and the gas discharge tube 8 will quickly turn on, directing the surge energy to the ground terminal of the motherboard, thereby protecting the motherboard circuit from overvoltage damage.
