Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] Currently, in industrial power supply applications, the 380V AC input power needs to be stepped down by a transformer before being connected to electronic products. However, transformers can experience leakage inductance, leading to excessively high peak voltages on components electrically connected to the transformer, which can burn out these components.

[0024] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a circuit for suppressing high voltage spikes, which can solve the problem of excessively high voltage spikes in components electrically connected to the transformer due to transformer leakage inductance.

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A circuit for suppressing high peak generation includes: a power input module 100, a protection module 200, and a power output module 300. The protection module 200 includes an inductor L1, a diode D1, and a diode D10. The first end of the inductor L1 is electrically connected to the power input module, and the second end of the inductor L1 is electrically connected to the first ends of the diodes D1 and D10, respectively. The second ends of the diodes D1 and D10 are also electrically connected to the power input module. The power output module 300 includes a transformer T1, and the first ends of the diodes D1 and D10 are electrically connected to the transformer T1, respectively.

[0027] It should be noted that inductor L1 serves as a current limiter. Furthermore, inductor L1, diode D1, and diode D10 form a buffer circuit. When the transformer leakage inductance generates a voltage spike, the voltage spike will cause diodes D1 and D10 to conduct, and the excess voltage energy will be discharged through diodes D1 and D10, thereby accumulating high voltage and achieving the purpose of clamping voltage and protecting circuit components.

[0028] See Figure 2In one embodiment, the power output module 300 further includes MOSFET Q3, MOSFET Q2, inductor L2 and capacitor EC3. MOSFET Q3 and MOSFET Q2 are electrically connected to transformer T1, one end of inductor L2 is electrically connected to MOSFET Q2, and the other end of inductor L2 is electrically connected to capacitor EC3.

[0029] It should be noted that inductor L2 serves as a freewheeling current source, and capacitor EC3 serves as a filter. Furthermore, MOSFETs Q2 and Q1 are soft switches, meaning they can be turned on at zero voltage and turned off at zero current. Moreover, due to the inclusion of inductor L1, diodes D1 and D10, the breakdown voltage of MOSFETs Q2 and Q3 is significantly reduced. Therefore, MOSFETs Q2 and Q3 can be selected with low-voltage, high-current specifications, thereby improving the efficiency of the output current.

[0030] See Figure 2 In one embodiment, the power output module 300 further includes capacitor Cq3 and capacitor Cq2, with capacitor Cq3 connected in parallel with MOSFET Q3 and capacitor Cq2 connected in parallel with MOSFET Q2.

[0031] It should be noted that capacitor Cq3 is the junction capacitance of MOSFET Q3, and capacitor Cq2 is the junction capacitance of MOSFET Q2.

[0032] See Figure 2 In one embodiment, the power input module 100 includes diode D2, MOSFET Q1, diode D9 and MOSFET Q4.

[0035] It should be noted that capacitor Cq1 is the junction capacitance of MOSFET Q1, and capacitor Cq4 is the junction capacitance of MOSFET Q4.

[0036] See Figure 2In one embodiment, the power input module 100 further includes capacitors EC1 and EC2. The first terminal of capacitor EC1 is electrically connected to the second terminal of diode D1, the second terminal of capacitor EC1 is electrically connected to the first terminal of capacitor EC2, and the second terminal of capacitor EC2 is electrically connected to the second terminal of diode D10. Specifically, the power input module also includes resistors R1 and R2. Resistor R1 is connected in parallel with capacitor EC1, and resistor R2 is connected in parallel with capacitor EC2.

[0037] It should be noted that capacitors EC1 and EC2 not only serve a filtering function, but the energy discharged by diodes D1 and D10 will also be temporarily stored in capacitors EC1 and EC2 before being released through the HVDC port. Because capacitors EC1 and EC2 are too large, two resistors R1 and R2 are used to balance their voltages and prevent them from becoming unbalanced.

[0038] See Figure 2 In one embodiment, the power input module 100 further includes a rectifier unit, which includes diodes D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, and D8. The first terminal of diode D3 is electrically connected to the first terminal of capacitor EC1, the second terminal of diode D3 is electrically connected to the first terminal of diode D6, the second terminal of diode D6 is electrically connected to the second terminal of capacitor EC2, the first terminal of diode D4 is electrically connected to the first terminal of capacitor EC1, the second terminal of diode D4 is electrically connected to the first terminal of diode D7, the second terminal of diode D7 is electrically connected to the second terminal of capacitor EC2, the first terminal of diode D5 is electrically connected to the first terminal of capacitor EC1, the second terminal of diode D5 is electrically connected to the first terminal of diode D8, and the second terminal of diode D8 is electrically connected to the second terminal of capacitor EC2.

[0039] It should be noted that diodes D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, and D8 have unidirectional conductivity. These diodes can be used to convert alternating current into direct current, thus achieving rectification.

[0040] See Figure 2In one embodiment, the power input module 100 further includes capacitors CX1, CX2, and CX3, common-mode inductors LF1A, LF1B, and LF1C. The first terminal of capacitor CX1 is electrically connected to the first terminals of common-mode inductors LF1A and LF1B, respectively.

The second terminal of capacitor CX1 is electrically connected to the first terminal of capacitor CX2. The first terminal of common-mode inductor LF1B is electrically connected to the first terminal of capacitor CX2. The second terminal of capacitor CX2 is electrically connected to the second terminal of diode D5. The first terminal of capacitor CX3 is electrically connected to the first terminal of common-mode inductor LF1C, and the second terminal of capacitor CX3 is electrically connected to the first terminal of capacitor CX1.

[0041] It should be noted that capacitors CX1, CX2, and CX3, as well as common-mode inductors LF1A, LF1B, and LF1C, serve as filters, while common-mode inductors LF1A, LF1B, and LF1C also suppress common-mode interference.

[0042] See Figure 2 In one embodiment, the power input module 100 further includes fuses F1, F2 and F3. Fuse F1 is electrically connected to the second terminal of common mode inductor LF1A, fuse F2 is electrically connected to the second terminal of common mode inductor LF1B, and fuse F3 is electrically connected to the second terminal of common mode inductor LF1C.

[0043] It should be noted that fuses F1, F2, and F3 serve as overload protection.

[0044] The principles of this application are explained below:

[0045] A 380V three-phase AC power supply is input through pins L1, L2, and L3. After passing through fuses F1, F2, and F3, and then filtered by capacitors CX1, CX2, CX3, common-mode inductors LF1A, LF1B, and LF1C, it enters the rectifier unit for rectification. During this time, MOSFETs Q1 and Q4 are turned on. When the transformer leakage inductance generates a voltage spike, this spike causes diodes D1 and D10 to turn on. Excess voltage energy is discharged through diodes D1 and D10 to capacitors EC1 and EC2 for temporary storage, and then released through the HVDC port, thus protecting MOSFETs Q2 and Q3. Finally, the current is output through the OUT interface.
