Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a grounding structure of an EMC circuit of a frequency converter. Background Art

[0002] In order to better meet the market requirements for the electromagnetic compatibility of products, an electromagnetic compatibility filter is built into the frequency converter. The electromagnetic compatibility filter discharges the common-mode surge noise to the ground through a varistor (hereinafter referred to as VDR), and discharges the common-mode high-frequency noise to the ground through a Y capacitor (hereinafter referred to as EMC). However, the power grid systems in different countries and regions are different at present. Some countries and regions have a symmetric grounding system for the power grid, and some countries and regions have an asymmetric grounding system for the power grid. When the frequency converter is used in an asymmetric grounding power grid system, the Y capacitor and the varistor of the electromagnetic compatibility filter in the frequency converter are connected to the ground potential. When the potential exceeds the voltage range allowed by the Y capacitor and the varistor, it will cause permanent damage to the electromagnetic compatibility filter inside the frequency converter. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a grounding structure of an EMC circuit of a frequency converter. To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0004] A grounding structure of an EMC circuit of a frequency converter includes an overcurrent copper bar for the EMC safety circuit to the ground, a short-circuit copper bar for the EMC safety circuit to the ground, a short-circuit copper bar for the VDR varistor to the ground, a screw for short-circuiting the EMC safety circuit to the ground, a screw for short-circuiting the VDR varistor to the ground, an EMC insulating column, a short-circuit copper bar for the varistor to the ground, an EMC PCB board, an overcurrent copper bar for the VDR varistor, and a varistor; the sheet metal bracket is fixed to the sheet metal chassis with screws for grounding connection to realize connection to the ground. The short-circuit copper bar for the EMC safety circuit to the ground and the short-circuit copper bar for the VDR varistor to the ground are respectively fixed on the sheet metal bracket with EMC short-circuit screws and VDR varistor short-circuit screws. The EMC insulating column and the varistor insulating column are respectively fixed on the sheet metal bracket. The overcurrent copper bar for the safety circuit to the ground is connected to the EMC PCB board and fixed on the EMC insulating column. The overcurrent copper bar for the VDR varistor is connected to the varistor and fixed on the varistor insulating column.

[0005] Further, the insulating column is made of nylon material.

[0006] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the grounding conductors for connecting EMC and VDR are made of copper bars, and the withstand voltage value and current-carrying capacity are greatly improved, which can play an excellent protective role when the EMC of a high-power frequency converter is connected to the ground and needs to cope with lightning strikes, abnormal voltages, and currents. When the connection between EMC and VDR to the ground is in an open state, the short-circuit copper bar can also be fixed to avoid disconnection failure caused by vibration or loss of parts.
