[0031] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a fault arc signal detection circuit, which comprises a parallel resonant circuit composed of a zero sequence transformer and a capacitor, is used for selecting and outputting a fault arc signal of a protected line;
[0032] The high-frequency filtering signal amplification circuit comprises a high-pass filter, a signal amplification circuit and a high-pass filter circuit, the high-pass filter is used for filtering the fault arc signal output by the fault arc collection circuit, the signal amplification circuit is used for amplifying the signal filtered by the high-pass filter, and the high-pass filter circuit is used for eliminating useless interference signals of the amplified signal and outputting a signal with a specific stable waveform.
[0033] The signal output by the high-frequency filtering signal amplification circuit is output to an ADC sampling pin of a single-chip microcomputer in one way and is input to the phase-locked loop circuit in the other way, and the phase-locked loop circuit is further connected with a bandwidth band composed of two groups of low-pass filters, and is used for purifying the stable signal again.
[0034] The fault arc signal detection circuit further comprises a resistance voltage divider, and the resistance voltage divider is used for monitoring a waveform generated by an alternating voltage when a fault arc occurs and inputting an ADC sampling pin of a single-chip microcomputer.
[0035] Specifically, the technical implementation process of the present application comprises three parts: 1. voltage detection when a fault arc occurs; 2. intensity detection of a fault arc signal; and 3. signal processing of the fault arc itself.
[0036] Firstly, the zero sequence transformer Z0 and the capacitor C1 form a parallel resonant circuit, and a fault arc signal of a protected line when a fault arc occurs is selected by the resonant circuit and then flows to the next processing circuit.
[0037] Capacitor C2 and resistor R1 and resistor R2 constitute a high-pass filter, filter out the useless line low-frequency useless signal, so the signal is weak, and then flows into the next processing circuit.
[0038] The signal gain is amplified by the amplifier chip U1 and the surrounding resistance, and the flow direction is to the next processing circuit.
[0039] A high-pass filter circuit is formed by capacitor C3 and resistor R5 to filter out unwanted interference signals for the next stable waveform.
[0040] The signal flows in two directions: a. One way through the voltage divider composed of resistors R6, R7, and R8 to transmit the signal to the single-chip ADC sampling pin, which calculates the voltage amplitude proportional to the arc intensity to determine the fault arc strength and provide the criterion for the single-chip control switch to control the delay size.
[0041] b. Let one way into the phase-locked loop circuit, which is composed of two sets of low-pass filters by resistor R10 and capacitor C5 of the phase-locked loop chip and resistor R9 and capacitor C4, to further purify the stable signal.
[0042] The resistor divider composed of resistors R12, R13, R14, R15, and R16 is used to monitor the waveform generated by the faulty arc when the AC voltage occurs. The single-chip ADC collects data to assist in judging the faulty arc.
[0043] The source signal follower is composed of the 5th pin (output voltage pin) and the 6th pin (timing input pin) of the phase-locked loop U2, resistor R11, and field effect transistor Q1, resistors R18, R19, and R20. When the single-chip fault arc model data waveform is input to the phase-locked loop through the source signal follower, it is compared with the fault arc waveform. When the input waveform is consistent, the 8th pin of the phase-locked loop will output the same waveform as the 6th pin input. The single-chip can easily perform arithmetic processing, improving the accuracy of fault arc protection judgment.
[0044] Three different loads are collected in the single-chip, namely: resistive load (resistor type), inductive load (inductor type), and capacitive load (capacitor type), whose fault arc waveform corresponds to the frequency. From this, the PWM data model is established. When the line has a fault arc, the single-chip ADC port 2 judges the signal to start the single-chip work, and the single-chip ADC3 port ADC1 starts sampling work at the same time to further confirm the characteristics of the fault arc. When the single-chip is in fault arc, the single-chip implements other control.
[0045] The utility model discloses circuit's component can adopt integrated mode, that is, the amplifier core chip and the phase-locked loop integration simplification peripheral circuit arc module DSP mode, can also be integrated processing of three, that is, the amplifier, the phase-locked loop and the single-chip microcomputer MCU integration, make into the arc chip of fault arc signal monitoring and output control whole body, there is under the condition of arc chip MCU, can cancel the 6 feet and the 5 feet of the phase-locked loop peripheral electronic component (resistor R11, capacitor C7, thyristor Q1), and the phase-locked loop internal frequency comparison reference is directly provided by single-chip microcomputer MCU.
[0046] The scheme collects three different loads of the line in the single-chip microcomputer, namely: resistive load (resistor type), inductive load (inductor type) and capacitive load (capacitor type), and the frequency corresponding to the fault arc waveform of the three different loads. A data model of PWM is established. When the line has a fault arc, the ADC port 2 of the single-chip microcomputer judges the signal to start the work of the single-chip microcomputer, and the ADC port 3 and ADC1 of the single-chip microcomputer start sampling work at the same time to further confirm the characteristics of the fault arc. When the fault arc occurs, the single-chip microcomputer implements other control.
[0047] The circuit is simple and clear, and saves many electronic components compared with the previous scheme. The phase-locked loop is used to obtain the fault arc signal, and the detection stability and convenience of the fault arc are improved compared with the previous scheme. The zero sequence is used to obtain the fault arc signal, which can well avoid the main line interference signal and reduce the workload of the single-chip microcomputer for establishing a data model to avoid the signal. Since the utility model technology is stable and low in cost, it is convenient for mass production. The use benefits thousands of families and provides protection for the personal safety of the people, and meets the requirements of safety and low energy consumption proposed by the national power grid.
[0048] The utility model aims at the design of the circuit structure, and the single-chip microcomputer belongs to external components, and the detection and data processing process can be implemented by combining the prior art known by those skilled in the art, and the processing part of the single-chip microcomputer does not affect the implementation of the circuit scheme of the application.
