[0019] Figure 2 This is a circuit diagram of a surge protector device for preventing voltage breakdown as described in this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the figures and embodiments.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a surge protector device for preventing voltage breakdown includes a power supply circuit, a trip unit, a step-down rectifier circuit, a leakage current detection circuit, and a thyristor switch circuit connected in sequence, and also includes a leakage current sensing circuit, which is connected to the power supply circuit, the step-down rectifier circuit, and the leakage current detection circuit.
[0022] The power supply circuit includes a phase line L and a neutral line N, which are respectively connected to the step-down rectifier circuit;
[0023] The trip unit includes a main tap, an auxiliary tap, and a shunt tap. The main tap is connected to the phase line L, the auxiliary tap is connected to the neutral line N, and the shunt tap is connected to the step-down rectifier circuit. The trip unit can bypass high voltage, improving its stability and reliability.
[0024] A gas venting pipe TV1 is also provided between the main tap and the auxiliary tap, and a varistor MOV1 is provided at one end of the gas venting pipe TV1 to protect the circuit from high voltage breakdown.
[0025] When the thyristor switch circuit is turned on, it triggers the connection between the anode and cathode of the thyristor switch, causing the trip unit to be connected to ground and forming a circuit with the thyristor switch, triggering the external mechanism to open the circuit through the trip coil.
[0026] By providing a gas venting pipe TV1 between the main tap and the auxiliary tap of the trip unit, when the voltage exceeds the mains power, the current loop of the product becomes a loop of phase line L—gas venting pipe TV1—varistor MOV1—neutral line N, without passing through the main tap and auxiliary tap of the trip unit, thus effectively protecting the safety of the trip unit when the voltage is too high.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the step-down rectifier circuit in this embodiment includes a bridge rectifier circuit composed of a first diode 1, a second diode D2, a third diode D3, and a fourth diode D4;

[0029] The first terminal of the bridge rectifier circuit is connected to the shunt tap, and the fourth terminal of the bridge rectifier circuit is connected to the leakage detection circuit via the first resistor R1.

The cathode of the thyristor switch SCR1 is connected to the second terminal of the bridge rectifier circuit, the anode of the thyristor switch SCR1 is connected to the fourth terminal of the bridge rectifier circuit, and the gate of the thyristor switch SCR1 is connected to the leakage current detection circuit.
[0031] It should be noted that the model number of the SCR1 thyristor switch described in this embodiment is JX014.
[0032] A fourth capacitor C4 is also provided at the gate of the SCR1 for filtering the connection to ground.

[0035] The seventh pin OPAO is connected to the gate of the silicon controlled rectifier switch SCR1;
[0036] The first pin NC and the second pin OPI1 are respectively connected to the leakage current sensing circuit;
[0037] As an external circuit, the fourth pin GND and the fifth pin SCRT are directly filtered to ground after being connected to the fifth capacitor C5; the sixth pin DLYC and the seventh pin OPAO are also connected through the sixth capacitor C6 to stabilize the external trigger signal.
[0038] When the leakage current detection circuit amplifies, filters, and rectifies the sensed leakage current signal to obtain a DC voltage, it inputs the voltage to the thyristor switch circuit through the seventh pin OPAO of the leakage current detection chip. This triggers the conduction between the anode and cathode of the thyristor switch SCR1, making the trip coil conduct to ground and forming a circuit with the thyristor switch SCR1. The trip coil then triggers the external mechanism to open the circuit.
[0039] The SCR1 thyristor switch processes and filters the input signal of the seventh pin OPAO of the leakage current detection chip through the fourth capacitor C4.
[0040] The leakage current detection chip U1 is model M54123L.

[0042] The zero-sequence current transformer ZCT clamps the sensed leakage current through the fifth diode D5, the sixth diode D6, the seventh diode D7, and the eighth diode D8, filters it through the eleventh capacitor C11, converts it through the eighth resistor R8 and the ninth resistor R9, changes the voltage through the tenth resistor R10, and inputs it to the first pin NC and the second pin OPI1 of the leakage current detection chip U2 through the twelfth resistor R12, the thirteenth resistor R13, the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, and the third capacitor C3.
[0043] In addition, the leakage current sensing circuit also includes an inductor L1, one end of which is connected to the first pin NC and the second pin OPI1 of the leakage current detection chip U2.
[0044] In this embodiment, the inductor L1 has the function of smoothing current fluctuations, preventing rapid changes in current, thereby smoothing pulsed or alternating currents; it can also suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI), and has high impedance to high-frequency signals, which can block such signals from passing through, thereby preventing the generation and propagation of EMI.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, as an optimization of this solution, the device also includes a test button circuit, which is connected to the power supply circuit and the leakage current sensing circuit, and is used to test the working state of the circuit.
[0046] Specifically, the test button circuit includes a test button SW2, one end of which is connected to the leakage current sensing circuit through a third resistor R3, and the other end is connected to the neutral line N.
