[0016] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application or the prior art, the following will briefly introduce the drawings needed to be used in the embodiment or prior art description.

[0017] Figure 1 is a schematic view of the circuit breaker controller with the fault recording function. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below are exemplary, and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0019] As Figure 1The circuit breaker controller with fault recording function provided by the application comprises a current acquisition unit, a voltage acquisition unit, a three-phase current conditioning circuit, a three-phase voltage conditioning circuit, a three-phase electric energy metering unit, a main control chip, a communication unit, a protection output module, a man-machine interface and an external storage module.

[0020] Specifically, the current acquisition unit and the voltage acquisition unit are respectively used for acquiring current information and voltage information. Optionally, the current acquisition unit can be a current transformer, and the voltage acquisition unit can be a capacitor voltage dividing circuit. The application does not make any limitation on this.

[0021] The current acquisition unit is connected to the three-phase current conditioning circuit, and the voltage acquisition unit is connected to the three-phase voltage conditioning circuit. The three-phase current conditioning circuit and the three-phase voltage conditioning circuit are connected to the main control chip. In the application, the main control chip is integrated with an internal analog-digital conversion module, and the three-phase current conditioning circuit and the three-phase voltage conditioning circuit are connected to the internal analog-digital conversion module of the main control chip. The voltage acquisition unit and the current acquisition unit are directly connected to the analog-digital conversion module inside the main control chip via a signal conditioning circuit composed of an operational amplifier as a core device, serving as a special channel for recording data acquisition.

[0022] The three-phase current conditioning circuit and the three-phase voltage conditioning circuit are connected to the three-phase electric energy metering unit, and the three-phase electric energy metering unit is connected to the main control chip. Specifically, the electric energy metering unit is used for acquiring voltage, current, power, power factor, frequency and other information, and the main control chip can directly read the data information in the electric energy metering unit, including current, voltage, power, power factor and the like, to ensure the accuracy requirements of various parameters and the stability of data. The USART supports both synchronous and asynchronous communication modes, and can select a suitable communication mode according to specific needs, providing higher flexibility and adaptability. The USART also has a high data transmission rate. At the same time, the USART supports full-duplex communication, which can send and receive data at the same time, improving the communication efficiency.

[0023] The communication unit, the protection output module, the man-machine interface and the external storage module are connected to the main control chip, and the monitoring equipment is connected to the main control chip through the communication unit.

[0024] Specifically, when the actual load exceeds the set protection value (overload long delay, short circuit short delay, instantaneous protection), the master control chip sends a trip instruction to the protection output module, so that the frame circuit breaker is reliably disconnected. At the same time, the voltage signal and the current signal are collected in real time by the analog-to-digital conversion inside the master control chip through the conditioning circuit, and saved to the data area of the master control chip (the number of waveforms before and after the fault can be set according to actual needs). After the data collection is completed, the data is saved to the external storage module, that is, the fault recording. The fault recording can record the waveforms and data before, during and after the fault, which is the basis for analyzing and studying the fault law. Then, the master control chip sends an event code to the monitoring device, and after confirmation, the monitoring device issues a read fault recording data, uploads the recording data through the communication unit and displays the voltage and current waveforms on the monitoring device. The circuit breaker controller with fault recording function of the application can store 10 groups of recording data, and can read any recording data in the 10 groups of data.

[0025] In the embodiments of the application, the external storage module is an EEPROM. The data in the EEPROM remains unchanged after power failure, ensuring the reliability and durability of the data. And the EEPROM can withstand multiple erase and write cycles, usually more than tens of thousands of times, with a long service life. In standby state, the power consumption of the EEPROM is very low.

[0026] Specifically, the communication unit is a CAN module. CAN communication has real-time and high-speed, which can adapt to fast response application scenarios. CAN communication also has high reliability, ensuring the reliability and stability of communication.

[0027] The human-computer interface includes a display module and a key module, and the display module and the key module are connected to the master control chip. The display module can be a digital tube display. The digital tube is mainly responsible for displaying voltage, current, power, protection tripping current and protection tripping time in turn. The key module is mainly used for users to set the circuit breaker parameters and fault query.

[0028] In the embodiments of the application, the circuit breaker controller with fault recording function also includes a clock module connected to the master control chip. The clock module is mainly responsible for the timing function, including overload long delay protection, short circuit short delay protection, instantaneous protection and other delay timing functions.

[0029] The basic principle, main features and advantages of the present application are shown and described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples do not limit the present application in any form, and any technical solution obtained by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation falls within the protection scope of the present application.
