[0015] like Figure 2 As shown, the inverter unit includes six MOS transistors M1-M6 that perform inversion, as well as sampling resistors RS2-RS4 and bus sampling resistor RS1.
[0016] The six MOSFETs are divided into three bridge arms, with each bridge arm containing two MOSFETs, one above the other. U-phase bridge arm: composed of M1 (upper MOSFET) and M4 (lower MOSFET); V-phase bridge arm: Composed of M2 (upper MOSFET) and M5 (lower MOSFET); W phase bridge arm: composed of M3 (upper MOSFET) and M6 (lower MOSFET); The drains (D) of all upper MOSFETs (M1, M2, M3) are connected to the positive terminal (P) of the DC bus; the sources (S) of all lower MOSFETs (M4, M5, M6) are connected to the negative terminal (DC-) of the DC bus; the source (S) of M1 is connected to the drain (D) of M4 to form the U-phase output terminal; the source (S) of M2 is connected to the drain (D) of M5 to form the V-phase output terminal; the source (S) of M3 is connected to the drain (D) of M6 to form the W-phase output terminal.

R36, R39, and C19 form a comparison reference and enter the positive terminal of the input of comparator IC9. When the acquired signal is higher than the comparison reference, the comparator outputs a low-level alarm.

R35 and C17 filter the op-amp bridge arm signal, and R30 and C16 filter the op-amp output signal to obtain the IV signal, which is used as the V-phase current sampling value and sent to the MCU.
[0023] In the W-phase sampling unit, resistors R38 and R40 collect the W-phase current signal on sampling resistor RS4, which enters differential amplifier IC6. After differential amplification, it is filtered by resistor R42 and capacitor C21 before entering operational amplifier IC7. Resistors R45, R48, and capacitor C26 form a reference voltage, which, after passing through the follower of operational amplifier IC7, provides a reference voltage for differential amplifier IC6. This voltage then passes through resistor R44 before entering operational amplifier IC7. R49 and C25 filter the op-amp bridge arm signal, and R43 and C22 filter the op-amp output signal to obtain the IW signal, which is used as the W-phase current sampling value and sent to the MCU. The IU, IV, and IW signals serve as current closed-loop and cumulative load protection under high load conditions.
[0024] like Figure 5As shown, the bus current protection unit includes transistors Q1 (PNP type) and Q2 (NPN type). The signal collected by sampling resistor RS1 enters the base of transistor Q1 after passing through resistor R8 and capacitor C4. The emitter of transistor Q1 is connected to the power supply through current-limiting resistor R6. When the signal exceeds the threshold, the collector of transistor Q1 outputs a high level. R12 and R13 reduce the output signal of transistor Q1. Diode D2 prevents negative signal output. R14 is a pull-down resistor to prevent abnormal operation of transistor Q2. R11 and C7 filter the input signal to prevent interference noise from triggering the protection. R7 is a pull-up resistor. R9 and C5 filter the output of transistor Q2. R10 and C6 filter the above protection output to obtain the OC_P signal, which is sent to the MCU.
[0025] like Figure 6 As shown, in the bus voltage detection unit, R3, R4, R5, and C2 step down and filter the bus voltage and send it to the operational amplifier IC1. IC1 outputs the voltage acquisition signal as a voltage follower. R1 and C3 filter the follower output signal, the microstructure D1 limits the follower output signal, and R2 and C1 filter the signal to obtain the voltage sampling value, which is then sent to the MCU.
