[0011] Fig. 2The utility model provides a direct current arcless socket circuit diagram for the direct current distribution system arcless socket circuit for household. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0012] In order to more clearly understand the above purpose, features and advantages of the utility model, the utility model is further described below in combination with drawings and examples. It should be explained that the examples and features in the examples of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0013] In the following description, a lot of specific details are set forth in order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the utility model, however, the utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from the description herein, therefore, the utility model is not limited to the specific examples disclosed in the following description.
[0014] EMBODIMENT
[0015] Please refer to Figs. 1-2 The utility model provides a technical scheme: a direct current distribution system arcless socket circuit for household, including MOSFET and diode, MOSFET and diode are embedded in the inside of arcless socket, the diode from negative to positive parallel is used to provide current path, the circuit is through two resistors and distributes the gate voltage from direct current bus to MOSFET, the arcless socket circuit is based on NMOS tube and PMOS tube respectively, NMOS tube is used for direct current load, and PMOS tube is used for direct current power supply work, as shown in Fig. 2 The ground wire is not drawn in the drawing. Because the current of direct current load and the current of 380V direct current bus are different, two feasible direct current arcless safety sockets are provided in practical application.
[0016] One MOS tube can not be used for direct current load and direct current power supply simultaneously. Because body diode is naturally conducted in one kind of condition. Therefore, the arcless safety socket based on NMOS tube ( Fig. 2 Left) is used for direct current load, and the arcless safety socket of PMOS tube ( Fig. 2 Right) is used for direct current power supply work, and MOSFET is used for closing the circuit after the metal connector is inserted and opening the circuit before the metal connector is completely pulled out, so as to avoid the electric arc between metal parts. Solid state device replaces metal connector to close and open the circuit, realizes completely arcless operation, and is safe.
[0017] A simple drive circuit requires only two resistors to distribute the gate voltage from the DC bus to the MOSFET. Due to the nature of the MOSFET, its power consumption is very small. An optional protection circuit is also designed to short the gate voltage to achieve over-current and over-temperature protection functions. A 1W small step-down circuit is used to power the optional protection circuit. Other circuits with IC and MOSFET are also designed, but are ignored in the figure.
[0018] Diodes in parallel from negative to positive are used to provide a current path and avoid overvoltage when the MOSFET opens the circuit with inductive elements, otherwise it will damage the MOSFET. Simulation results show that it works well.
[0019] Small chokes in series are used to suppress the inrush current when the MOSFET closes the circuit with capacitive load. The value and volume are selected to take into account the 500A inrush current peak, which is relatively severe, and is rarely seen in residential loads.
[0020] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application in other forms. Any skilled person in the art can modify or change the above disclosed technical content to equivalent embodiments applied to other fields, but any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiments made in accordance with the technical essence of the present application without departing from the technical scheme of the present application shall still fall within the protection scope of the present application.
