[0020] like Figure 1As shown in the illustration, this utility model provides an auxiliary power supply for a protection device in a 380V power distribution system. A dedicated auxiliary power supply module is added to the existing typical wiring diagram of a 380V motor. The input terminal is connected to a local three-phase AC power supply, and the output is either DC 220V or AC 220V. Even if any two phases of the AC power supply on the AC side are interrupted, a stable DC or AC 220V power supply can still be guaranteed. This application aims to completely eliminate the traditional 380V AC power distribution system by using an auxiliary power supply device connected to the original 380V AC power distribution system. This ensures that the motor protector or integrated protection device can still supply power normally in the event of a single-phase ground fault or a two-phase short circuit in the 380V AC power distribution system.

[0021] In this embodiment, the input terminal is connected to the local three-phase AC power of phase A, phase B, and phase C and the neutral line. Each phase of AC power is connected to its respective rectifier through its own current transformer. The current transformer detects the current of the phase it is connected to and sends the signal to the protection device.

[0022] Specifically, the current transformer is a 1.0A current transformer used for current detection.

[0030] Specifically, the output provides power to the load, which is powered by a 24VDC / 230VAC low-power power inverter.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the auxiliary power supply of the protection device includes: Input terminal (IN): Three-phase AC input: phase A, phase B, phase C and neutral line (N); Current transformer: Each phase (phase A, phase B, phase C) has a 1.0A current transformer for current detection, and the three-phase AC power is connected to its respective rectifier through the current transformer; Rectifier (AC-DC): Each phase has a rectifier that converts AC power to DC power and connects to the filtering and voltage regulation circuit; Filtering and voltage regulation circuit: The rectified DC power is filtered and regulated by the filtering and voltage regulation circuit to provide a stable DC output; Inverter (DC-AC): The inverter converts DC power back to AC power and outputs it to the load; Output terminal (OUT): Provides +DC220V and ~AC220V power.

[0033] Current transformers detect the current in each phase and send signals to protection devices; alternating current (AC) is converted to direct current (DC) by a rectifier. The rectifier, typically composed of a diode bridge, converts the positive and negative half-cycles of AC into unidirectional DC; the rectified DC is then smoothed by a filter circuit (such as a capacitor) and provides a stable DC output through a voltage regulator circuit; the DC is then converted back to AC by an inverter. The inverter, typically composed of electronic switches (such as IGBTs or MOSFETs), generates AC by controlling the frequency and duty cycle of the switches. The AC output from the inverter and the filtered DC output are then supplied to the load through their respective output terminals.

[0034] Specifically, the auxiliary power supply of this application is added to the original typical wiring of a 380V motor. The power supply wiring of the original motor protector or integrated protection device is disconnected. The input terminal of the auxiliary power supply module is connected to the local three-phase AC power supply, and the output terminal is connected to the power supply terminal of the original motor protector or integrated protection device. If the original motor protector or integrated protection device can be powered by either AC or DC power, the auxiliary power supply module's DC 220V output is used for power supply. If the original motor protector or integrated protection device can only be powered by AC power, the auxiliary power supply module's AC 220V output is used for power supply.

[0035] In summary, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0036] 1. This power supply unit detects current through a current transformer, converts AC to DC through a rectifier, provides a stable DC output through a filter and voltage regulator circuit, and converts DC back to AC through an inverter. Finally, it provides +DC220V and ~AC220V power through the output terminal. This design can provide a stable power supply for the protection device and ensure its normal operation.

It is specifically designed for use in traditional 380V AC power distribution systems. The input terminal is connected to the local three-phase AC power supply, and the output terminal is connected to the power supply terminal of the protection device. If the original protection device power supply can be powered by either AC or DC power, the auxiliary power supply is used to provide DC 220V output power.
