The R5F524T performs well in terms of processing speed and efficiency, meeting the high requirements of real-time control and data processing.
[0033] In specific implementation, the operational amplifier IC1 is LM331.
[0034] LM331 is an integrated chip produced by NS Company in the United States, which has high performance and price ratio.

[0037] The circuit diagram of the protection circuit of the utility model is shown in Figure 2 The connection relationship between each component is shown in Figure 2In the specific work, the voltage of one end of the fuse FUSE1 is divided by the sampling resistors R2, R3 and R5, and then enters the first pin of the operational amplifier IC1. The voltage of the other end of the fuse FUSE1 is divided by the sampling resistors R7, R8 and R9, and then enters the third pin of the operational amplifier IC1. The IC1 compares the voltage of the first pin and the third pin, and outputs the result to the fourth pin (the voltage value is 5V or 0V). Then, the voltage is sent to the OV_P terminal of the MCU.
[0038] The gate of the IGBT tube IG1 is connected to the PWM wave input end PWM_IN through the diode D2 and the resistor R10 in sequence, and the gate of the IGBT tube IG1 is also connected to the PWM wave input end PWM_IN through the resistor R12.

[0039] The emitter of the IGBT tube IG1 is connected to one end of the fuse FUSE1.
[0040] When there is no abnormal large current through the IGBT, the fuse FUSE1 is turned on, the voltages of the first pin and the third pin of the operational amplifier IC1 are equal, at this time, the operational amplifier IC1 outputs a high level to the MCU, and when the MCU detects the high level, no error warning is reported, and the household appliance frequency conversion controller works normally.
[0041] When there is an abnormal large current through the IGBT, the fuse FUSE1 is disconnected, the voltages of the first pin and the third pin of the operational amplifier IC1 are not equal, the negative input voltage of the first pin is high, and the positive input voltage of the third pin is zero. At this time, the operational amplifier IC1 outputs a low level to the MCU, and when the MCU detects the low level, an error warning is reported. The household appliance frequency conversion controller cannot work. The MCU detects the abnormality and sends an error prompt, and the maintenance personnel can judge that there is an abnormality in the IGBT and process it through the prompt.

[0043] When there is an abnormal large current through the IGBT, the fuse of the self-recovery protection circuit will be self-fused to cut off the current when the current abnormally rises to a certain height and heat, thereby playing a role in protecting the safe operation of the circuit. When the fuse is disconnected, the voltage collected by the two input terminals of the operational amplifier IC1 is abnormal, the operational amplifier IC1 outputs a low level, and the low level is input to the OV_P terminal of the MCU through the resistance R6, so that the MCU detects the abnormality and issues an error prompt, and the maintenance personnel can determine that there is an abnormality in the IGBT and process it according to the prompt.
[0044] When there is no abnormal large current through the IGBT, the voltage collected by the two input terminals of the operational amplifier IC1 is normal, the operational amplifier IC1 outputs a high level, and the MCU detects normal operation.

When IGBT short circuit caused by insects and other foreign matters in circuit, fuse disconnects IGBT in protection circuit instantaneously, prevent IGBT from being damaged by overcurrent.
