Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a dual-power automatic transfer switch controller. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, voltage signal acquisition in dual-power automatic transfer switch controllers mainly includes sampling methods such as voltage transformers, transformers, resistive voltage dividers, and linear optocouplers. Transformer sampling offers relatively simple circuitry and high reliability and stability, but it is large and costly. Voltage transformer sampling offers high accuracy, relatively small size, high cost, and strong anti-interference capabilities. Furthermore, voltage transformers can isolate high and low voltages, ensuring safety during the acquisition process. Linear optocouplers have a narrow operating range, are prone to operating in nonlinear conditions, and have high design costs. Resistive voltage divider sampling converts a portion of the current or voltage in the circuit into a measurable signal, thereby achieving accurate measurement of circuit parameters.
[0003] However, in dual-power automatic transfer switches, each power supply is independent and does not interfere with the others. But if the controller uses a resistor-divided sampling mode, it typically uses a common neutral wire mode internally, which can lead to interference between the power supplies. This can cause virtual voltages to appear on the display, resulting in incorrect controller judgments and issuing incorrect commands. This type of failure is particularly prone to occur during factory testing and calibration of dual-power automatic transfer switches because the two power supplies on the manufacturer's calibration bench are not completely physically isolated.
