[0039] 2. The thyristor receives a pulse control signal with adjustable frequency and duty cycle from the microcontroller unit 14, and converts the 220V sinusoidal signal of the primary winding of the transformer 11 into an AC pulse signal.

[0040] 3. The voltage transformer monitors the output voltage of the secondary circuit of transformer 11 in real time.

R109 is used to protect the isolation amplifier integrated ISO124, when the thermocouple amplifier integrated AD8495 input abnormal voltage, the output voltage can be limited to 6.2v and prevent isolation amplifier integrated ISO124 overcurrent damage.
