[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transformer technology, and in particular to an AC-AC chopper electronic transformer. Background Technology
[0002] Existing AC / AC converters typically rely on pure hardware circuitry or floating drive schemes to achieve voltage regulation and control. These methods primarily use electronic components with fixed parameters to perform voltage conversion, lacking flexibility and precision. Because their control logic is based on preset hardware configurations, it is difficult to adjust the output voltage in real time according to changes in power grid conditions, resulting in difficulties in maintaining output voltage stability under different load conditions. Furthermore, this design typically does not support real-time monitoring of critical parameters such as input voltage and current, making the system unable to respond promptly to abnormal situations, such as overloads or short circuits, thereby increasing the risk of damage to downstream equipment.

This approach lacks flexibility and precision, struggles to adapt to changes in grid conditions to stabilize the output voltage in real time, and typically does not support real-time monitoring of critical parameters, increasing the risk of damage to downstream equipment under abnormal conditions. In contrast, modern power electronics technology emphasizes digital control, but traditional AC / AC converters have failed to fully utilize this trend, still facing problems such as low control accuracy and slow response speed. Especially when operating in high-voltage environments, they lack effective protection measures, easily leading to component damage or even electrical safety accidents. Therefore, existing designs urgently need improvement to enhance system safety and reliability.
[0028] Therefore, this utility model provides an AC-AC chopper electronic transformer to improve control accuracy, achieve dynamic real-time monitoring, and enhance overload protection capabilities.
[0029] Specifically, this AC-AC chopper electronic transformer integrates multiple sampling units (current, voltage, and frequency zero-crossing point) and a control unit 60 to achieve dynamic real-time monitoring of input and output parameters, thereby significantly improving the system's control accuracy.

[0079] Current sampling and overload protection: Point CS is the current sampling point, and current is detected through a network composed of resistors R18, R19, R20 and diode D5 (4148). When the current exceeds the set value, SRC1 is triggered, which in turn controls SCR1 (silicon controlled rectifier) to conduct through chip U2, cutting off the load current and providing overload protection.
[0080] Thyristor Driver and Load Output: RS1 (35mΩ), R13 (10kΩ), R14 (100Ω), and Q2 (AT8A-600) constitute the thyristor driver circuit. When U2 detects an overload or other abnormal condition, it controls SCR1 to cut off the load current, protecting the circuit from damage. RL4 (100K / 3W) is the load resistor, and 200W-Lout and Nout are the load output terminals.
[0081] Indicator lights and status display: The green power-on light and the red protection light are connected to the corresponding pins of U2 via R21 (1kΩ) and R15 (1KΩ) respectively, to indicate the circuit's operating status. During normal operation, the green light is on; in case of overload or fault, the red light is on to alert the user.
[0082] In summary, this circuit ensures stable operation with a power consumption not exceeding 200W through precise current sampling, intelligent control, and a fast-response protection mechanism, and promptly disconnects the load in case of abnormalities to protect equipment safety.
