AI Technical Summary
Existing charging equipment suffers from long response time, low detection accuracy, and high false alarm rate when detecting short circuits at the output of the charging gun, leading to safety hazards.
A combination circuit consisting of a low-voltage fixed power supply, a microcontroller, pull-up resistors, first and second switching circuits, and protection diodes is used. The short circuit condition is determined by measuring the output impedance between the Lout and Nout terminals. The short circuit detection is performed by controlling the conduction and cutoff states of the switching transistors using the microcontroller.
It enables rapid and accurate detection of short circuits at the output terminal before charging, improving charging safety, avoiding dangers during high-voltage power-on, and enhancing the reliability and accuracy of detection.
