Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of frequency converter technology, and specifically to a current sampling circuit that switches power via software. Background Technology

[0002] In most modern frequency converter designs, a single power board typically supports several power ratings. This is usually achieved by using resistors to short-circuit or DIP switches to change the amplification factor of the amplifier circuit, corresponding to different current loops in the software, thus ensuring compatibility with different frequency converter output power. However, manually changing different power ranges using resistors to short-circuit or DIP switches is prone to issues such as poor soldering or incorrect DIP switches. Mismatched current loops can even lead to IGBT failure. Summary of the Invention

The operational amplifier U1B is model SGM8270.

[0023] The input terminals of the photorelay U3 are equipped with resistors R15 and R13. One end of resistor R15 is connected to the photorelay U3 through one end of R13. The other end of resistor R15 receives the level signal sent by the DSP, and the other end of R13 is connected to the power supply.
