[0002] As an intelligent meter product, the metering accuracy and reliability of an electric energy meter should be effectively guaranteed. However, unstable metering power supply may cause interference to the signal processing and calculation processes inside the metering chip, thereby affecting the accuracy of key parameters such as electric energy metering and power factor calculation, resulting in errors in the electric energy metering results. Unstable metering power supply will also affect the normal operation of the communication module, causing problems such as data upload failure or data packet loss, thus affecting the product competitiveness.

[0003] The electric energy meter with a manganin scheme uses manganin alloy as the core material of the current transformer in the electric energy meter. Manganin is a high-permeability material with high magnetic permeability and low coercivity, which makes it very useful in the field of electric energy metering. The high magnetic permeability of the manganin alloy makes the current transformer very sensitive to small current changes, helping to improve the metering accuracy. Due to the low coercivity of the manganin alloy, the eddy current loss generated by the current transformer during operation is small, thus reducing the energy consumption. However, the electric energy meter with a manganin scheme mainly has the following problems in use:

[0004] Firstly, unstable power supply may cause interference to the signal processing and calculation processes inside the metering chip, affecting the accuracy of electric energy metering.

In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely examples, and the present utility model is not limited to the various structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0029] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 2 , the present utility model provides a metering isolation power supply circuit applicable to an electric energy meter using a manganin scheme, which includes an isolation power transformer driver UM1, resistors RM1 and RM2, magnetic beads LM1 and LM2, double series rectifier diodes DM1 and DM2, an isolation transformer TM1, and capacitors CM1, CM2, CM3, CM4, CM5, and CM6.

When the SEL pin is connected to VDD, the driving chip operates in the medium frequency band, and the spread spectrum range is 310 - 400 KHz. When the SEL pin is connected to GND, the driving chip operates in the high frequency band, and the spread spectrum range is 350 - 430 KHz. Pin 4 (VB2) of the driver UM1 is the full - bridge drive stage output 2, and pin 5 (VB1) of the driver UM1 is the full - bridge drive stage output 1.

[0031] Capacitors CM1 and CM2 are connected in parallel between pin 1 (power input pin) and pin 2 (internal ground of the chip) of the driver. Pin 1 of the driver is connected to the circuit power supply VDDM, pin 2 of the driver is connected to resistor RM2, and the other end of resistor RM2 is grounded. Pin 3 (frequency selection pin) of the driver is connected to VDDM, and the driving chip operates in the medium frequency band. Capacitor CM5 is connected between pin 4 (full - bridge drive stage output 2) and pin 2 of the driver, and capacitor CM6 is connected between pin 5 (full - bridge drive stage output 1) and pin 2 of the driver.

[0032] The capacitor CM2 is an input voltage stabilizing capacitor, and its capacitance value should be greater than 1 μF. The capacitors CM5 and CM6 are EMI suppression capacitors, with a capacitance value of 470 pF and a working voltage not lower than 10 V. The isolation transformer should have a withstand voltage capacity greater than 2.5 kV. Electrical isolation of the two windings is achieved through the isolation transformer. When an alternating current is applied to the primary winding, according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, a corresponding alternating voltage will be induced in the secondary winding. There is no direct electrical connection between the primary winding and the secondary winding, and energy is transferred only through the magnetic core, thus achieving electrical isolation.

[0033] The power supply of this utility model is input through pin 1 VDD of the driver UM1. At the same time, the input voltage stabilizing capacitors CM1 and CM2 are connected in parallel between pin 1 and pin 2 GND to ensure power supply stability. Pin 3 SEL of the driver UM1 is used as the frequency selection pin. According to the level state of the SEL pin, the driving chip UM1 can work in the low-frequency band, medium-frequency band or high-frequency band to realize the spread-spectrum clock function and improve the anti-interference performance of the circuit. Pins 4 VB2 and 5 VB1 of the driver UM1 are used as the outputs of the full-bridge driving stage and are respectively connected to the primary side of the isolation transformer TM1 to realize isolated driving of the signal. The secondary side output of the isolation transformer TM1 is connected to the rectifier diodes DM1 and DM2 for rectification. The rectified signal is preliminarily filtered through the capacitor CM4. The anode of the rectifier diode DM1 is connected to the capacitor CM3 and the dummy load resistor RM1 through the magnetic bead LM1 for further filtering and voltage stabilization. The cathode of the rectifier diode DM2 is connected to the ground terminal of the capacitor CM3 through the magnetic bead LM2 to provide high-frequency noise attenuation. The capacitors CM5 and CM6 are used as EMI suppression capacitors and are connected in parallel with the corresponding pins of the driver UM1 to reduce electromagnetic interference. The capacitor CM3 is used as an output voltage stabilizing capacitor to ensure the stability of the output voltage. The driver UM1 integrates overcurrent and overtemperature detection and protection functions to ensure protection and self-recovery ability in abnormal situations. The overall circuit design reduces the noise and common-mode interference caused by the ground loop, improving the electromagnetic compatibility of the system. The circuit ensures that the load end is not affected by the input power supply fluctuation, maintaining stable output voltage and current, and ensuring the metering accuracy of the watt-hour meter.
