[0002] In the operation and management of power systems, zero-crossing switching technology plays a crucial role in reactive power compensation and precise control of power equipment. Traditional zero-crossing switching control faces numerous challenges during implementation, with accurate measurement and effective processing of AC current being a critical aspect. Early power measurement technologies lacked sufficient accuracy and reliability for AC current measurement, failing to meet the high requirements of current monitoring in modern power systems for zero-crossing switching control. On one hand, traditional current measurement methods cannot effectively convert and accurately measure large currents, easily leading to signal distortion and significant errors. On the other hand, the lack of effective anti-interference measures during signal transmission and processing allows the complex electromagnetic environment of the power system to introduce substantial noise and interference signals, resulting in unstable measurement results and consequently affecting the accuracy and reliability of zero-crossing switching.

[0003] Therefore, how to accurately measure the current signal so as to directly and efficiently interface with the microcontroller and perform intelligent processing to meet the needs of the power distribution system for three-phase zero-crossing switching is an issue that needs attention.

The inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier. The output terminal of the operational amplifier is connected to the corresponding digital conversion input channel of the microcontroller through the fifth resistor.

[0010] Optionally, the A-phase current measuring sub-circuit further includes a first capacitor and a second capacitor;

[0011] In the phase A current measurement sub-circuit, the first capacitor and the second capacitor form a parallel circuit. One end of the parallel circuit is connected to the second reference voltage source, and the other end of the parallel circuit is grounded.

[0012] By employing the above technical solution, this application connects the power supply of the corresponding phase to one side of the primary winding of the current transformer through a first resistor in each current measurement sub-circuit, and the neutral power supply to the other side of the primary winding through a second resistor. In the secondary winding, the first reference voltage source is connected to the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier through a third and a fourth resistor, the inverting input of the operational amplifier is connected to the output, and the output of the operational amplifier is connected to the corresponding digital conversion input channel of the microcontroller through a fifth resistor.

[0027] Understandably, current transformers can accurately convert large currents in AC power sources into smaller currents according to a certain ratio, facilitating subsequent measurement and processing. For example, in reactive power compensation devices in power systems, accurately measuring the current flowing through capacitors allows for precise control of capacitor switching based on current magnitude and phase, optimizing reactive power compensation, reducing energy loss, and improving the power factor of the power system. Operational amplifiers amplify the small voltage signal output from the current transformer, increasing its amplitude and making it easier for the microcontroller to recognize and process.

[0031] Understandably, the filter circuit composed of capacitors C9 and C10 effectively reduces the interference of power supply noise on the measurement signal, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the signal transmitted to the microcontroller. In industrial power control scenarios, even in environments with electromagnetic interference from numerous electrical devices, it can still accurately acquire AC current signals, providing a reliable basis for zero-crossing switching control.

The inverting input of the operational amplifier is connected to its output, and the output of the operational amplifier is connected to the corresponding digital conversion input channel of the microcontroller through a fifth resistor. Therefore, the current transformer can accurately convert a large current in the AC power supply into a small current according to a certain ratio, facilitating accurate measurement of the current flowing through the capacitor in the reactive power compensation device of the power distribution system. The amplified signal is smoothly output to the microcontroller, enabling efficient direct interface and intelligent processing to meet the requirements of the power distribution system for three-phase zero-crossing switching.
