[0018] The specific implementation process of the utility model is as follows: the second varistor MOV2 and the third varistor MOV3 form a common-mode surge protection module, thereby forming a first protection circuit to suppress the surge signal contained in the mains power supply; the first capacitor C1, the first inductor L1, the second capacitor C2, the third capacitor C3, and the fourth capacitor C4 form an LC filter module circuit, which can filter out the common-mode signal and the differential-mode signal in the mains signal; the first transient diode ZD1, the second transient diode ZD2, and the third transient diode ZD3 form a second protection circuit, further suppressing the residual surge signal contained in the current output from the LC filter module; the transient diode The ability to withstand surge current impact is not as good as that of varistor, but it has a faster response time, so it is used as a secondary clamp voltage limiter. By utilizing the reverse avalanche characteristics of the transient suppression diode, the residual surge signal in the current output from the LC filter module can be released. In addition, when the first protection circuit fails, the second protection circuit can play a backup protection role, which can prevent the subsequent circuit from being impacted by the surge signal, and can further improve the safety of the system. When the normal current in the circuit flows through the second inductor L2, the current generates a reverse magnetic field in the inductor coil wound in the same phase and cancels each other out. At this time, the normal current is mainly affected by the coil current. The influence of the resistance (and a small amount of damping caused by leakage inductance), when a common-mode interference current flows through the second inductor L2, due to the unidirectionality of the common-mode current, a unidirectional magnetic field will be generated in the coil, which increases the inductive reactance of the coil, making the coil appear as a high impedance, and producing a strong damping effect, thereby attenuating the common-mode current and achieving the purpose of filtering out the common-mode noise signal. The first common-mode suppression circuit performs low-frequency noise suppression processing on the current output from the second protection circuit of the anti-surge circuit, and flows the current after the suppression processing into the second common-mode suppression circuit, thereby providing stable and pure current, lower electromagnetic interference, and can adapt to most electronic ballasts. The rectifier circuit ensures the normal operation of the subsequent circuit. When common-mode interference current flows through the third inductor L3, due to the unidirectionality of the common-mode current, a unidirectional magnetic field will be generated in the coil, which increases the inductive reactance of the coil, making the coil exhibit high impedance and producing a strong damping effect, thereby attenuating the common-mode current and filtering out the common-mode noise signal. It can solve the problem of poor versatility of other filtering circuits, not only improve the electromagnetic interference suppression level and safety of the system, but also prevent the circuit from being subjected to surge shock, so that the product can operate safely, avoid repeated design and reduce the selection of material models, and also reduce the cost of the entire circuit.
