Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of power supply control especially relates to an improved full-range active power factor correction circuit. BACKGROUND

[0002] The long-term load of the battery charging type switching power supply of the power distribution automation remote terminal DTU / FTU in the prior art includes a core unit, a communication unit, a remote signaling unit and a remote control unit and the like, and the total power of these loads is 4-20W. When the battery charging type switching power supply of the DTU / FTU needs to output a transient large load to drive a switch for remote on-off control of a line during maintenance and fault of a distribution line, the instantaneous power of the on-off of the switch can reach 1KW or even higher. In order to reduce input current harmonics, improve AC sampling accuracy, and improve the utilization rate of power supply, the power supply used in conjunction will use an active PFC circuit to modulate the input current.

[0003] The power consumption of the DTU / FTU terminal is clearly specified in the power distribution automation terminal detection outline and the power distribution automation remote terminal DL / T721-2013 of the China Electric Power Research Institute, and it is required that the apparent power of the three-remote FTU is ≤30VA and the apparent power of the three-remote DTU is ≤40VA. The power factor of the battery charging type switching power supply of the DTU / FTU should be >0.8 when the electronic equipment load is 4-20W to meet the detection requirements, but the maximum output power of the power supply is 500-1000W, and if the power supply is power factor corrected in the entire power range, the power factor of the power supply cannot meet the requirement of >0.8 when the load is 4-20W.

[0004] The active PFC circuit used in the industry at present can only work at 5-50W, and stops working when the output load is greater than 50W. The power factor correction circuit of this scheme can meet the requirement of power factor >0.8 when the output load is 4-20W, but there is no PFC circuit to correct the input current in the full power range, and a large harmonic current is generated when a large load is output, which reduces the utilization rate of the power grid and seriously distorts the input voltage and current waveform sampled.

[0059] As an embodiment:

[0060] The detection switching module comprises: an alternating current end, a capacitor CX2, a capacitor C9, a capacitor C10, a resistor R11, a resistor R12, a resistor R13, a resistor R14, a resistor R15, a resistor R16, a resistor R17, a resistor R18, a sampling resistor RS1, a switch tube Q2, an error amplifier U3B, a comparator U3A, a diode D3 and an optical coupler U2.

The switch tube Q2 is turned on, and the capacitor CX2 is connected to the circuit. At this time, there are two capacitors CX1 and CX2 in the circuit, which filter out the differential mode signal and reduce the harmonic current generated under large load. Under light load, the output current is small, and the output current value is amplified by the error amplifier U3B and then enters the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U3A, and is compared with the reference voltage. At this time, the detected output current signal is small, and the voltage after amplification by the error amplifier is lower than the reference voltage.

The switch tube Q2 is turned off, and the capacitor CX2 is disconnected in the circuit. At this time, there is only one filter capacitor CX1 in the circuit, and the bus voltage detected by the PFC controller U1 through R6 and R7 is closer to the actual input voltage.
