[0019] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an anti-electric shock connector applied to a photovoltaic inverter is provided.

[0020] Embodiment 1;

[0021] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the anti-electric shock connector applied to a photovoltaic inverter according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a terminal head 1. The terminal head 1 is respectively provided with a PE pin 2, an L pin 3, and an N pin 4. Two groups of short-circuit probes 5 are provided in the middle below between the L pin 3 and the N pin 4 of the terminal head 1. The two groups of short-circuit probes 5 are connected to a short-circuit signal detection circuit.

[0022] Embodiment 2;

[0023] As Figures 1 - 3As shown, the short-circuit signal detection circuit includes a resistor R8 and a ZERO signal. One end of the resistor R8 is connected to the ZERO signal and one of the short-circuit probes 5 respectively. The other end of the resistor R8 is connected to a supply voltage VCC, and the other short-circuit probe 5 is grounded.

[0025] In actual application, after the plug is inserted into the socket, the ZERO signal of the short-circuit probe 5 is forced to be pulled low. The inverter detects that the ZERO signal is at a low level, and at this time the inverter starts to invert and output. After the socket is unplugged, the ZREO signal returns to a high level, the inverted output stops, and there is no voltage on the pin, realizing that when the matching female socket is not inserted, the inverter will not supply power, thus avoiding the electric shock accident that may be caused by the live pin.

[0026] In summary, with the above technical solutions of the present invention, the safety is improved: when the matching female socket is not inserted, the inverter will not supply power, thus avoiding the electric shock accident that may be caused by the live pin.

[0027] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
