Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of leakage protection circuits, in particular to a leakage protection improvement circuit for high-power loads. Background Art

[0002] A leakage current protector (RCD) is a device used to protect against electric shock and leakage in circuits. If a line or device experiences a ground leakage or an electric shock, it automatically disconnects the circuit, effectively protecting both personnel and the circuit. Typically, a RCD consists of an induction coil and a switch. When the induction coil senses leakage current, the switch activates, disconnecting the circuit.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN201611228163.0 discloses a leakage protector, which relates to the field of leakage protection technology. The leakage protector includes: a controller, a leakage protection control module, a zero-sequence leakage detection transformer, and a zero-sequence leakage self-test circuit; the zero-sequence leakage detection transformer, the leakage protection control module, and the controller are connected in sequence, and the zero-sequence leakage self-test circuit is connected to the controller. When the zero-sequence leakage self-test circuit is turned on, the zero-sequence leakage detection transformer sends a trigger signal to the leakage protection control module, so that the controller can perform a self-test on the zero-sequence leakage detection transformer, solving the safety hazards caused by human negligence, failure to conduct test operations, unreasonable installation location (such as hidden installation), and too few periodic test frequencies. It also implements program self-test, adds self-test during operation, and self-test on power-on, eliminating the continued use of the leakage protection device due to damage without knowledge, thereby improving safety.

[0004] However, during actual implementation, the inventors found that when certain high-power devices exist in the downstream circuit, it is easy for a certain surge to appear on the neutral and live lines, which can be sensed by the mutual inductor and cause the leakage protector to malfunction, affecting the normal use of the equipment.
