Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of power supply detection, and in particular to an inverter and a leakage current detection device. Background Art

[0003] With the increasing popularity and use of electrical equipment, the safety of electrical equipment is becoming increasingly important. Leakage current is a common safety hazard in electrical equipment. It is often caused by ground faults, insulation damage, and aging of electrical equipment. It can lead to electrical accidents and threaten personal safety, equipment, and property. Therefore, the need for leakage current detection is becoming increasingly important.

[0004] Leakage current detection technology can effectively detect leakage current problems in electrical equipment, promptly identifying and addressing safety hazards. For example, in industrial production, various electrical equipment requires leakage current detection to ensure production safety and work efficiency; in the civilian field, household appliances also require leakage current detection to protect family members; and in the medical field, various medical devices also require leakage current detection to ensure the safety of medical procedures. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The first aspect is an inverter of the present application, comprising: an inverter circuit and a leakage current detection device; the inverter circuit is used to convert the received DC power into AC power and output it to the load; the leakage current detection device includes a positive DC source, a negative DC source, a leakage current transformer, a self-excited oscillation circuit, a sampling resistor and a controller.

[0006] The leakage current transformer may be an electrical component for detecting leakage current, wherein the leakage current transformer comprises a magnetic core and a detection winding wound around the magnetic core, wherein the magnetic core is sleeved on the power connection line.

[0007] A self-oscillating circuit is a circuit that generates an excitation signal (such as a square wave or rectangular signal) with a fixed frequency and alternating waveform. The self-oscillating circuit includes a comparator, a first resistor, a first voltage-dividing resistor, a second voltage-dividing resistor, a first switching transistor, and a second switching transistor.

[0008] The first power supply terminal of the comparator is connected to a positive DC source and one end of a first resistor, respectively. The other end of the first resistor is connected to the output terminal of the comparator. The second power supply terminal of the comparator is connected to a negative DC source. The non-inverting input terminal of the comparator is connected to the first end of the detection winding. The inverting input terminal of the comparator is connected to one end of the first voltage-dividing resistor and one end of the second voltage-dividing resistor, respectively. The other end of the first voltage-dividing resistor is connected to the second end of the detection winding, and the other end of the second voltage-dividing resistor is grounded. The output terminal of the comparator is connected to the driving terminal of the first switching tube and the driving terminal of the second switching tube.

[0009] The input end of the first switch tube is connected to the positive DC source, and the output end of the second switch tube is connected to the negative DC source; the output end of the first switch tube is respectively connected to the input end of the second switch tube and the second end of the detection winding.

[0010] One end of the sampling resistor is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator, and the other end of the sampling resistor is grounded.

[0011] The controller is configured to output a signal indicating leakage current on the power connection line when the integral value of the voltage across the sampling resistor in a single cycle is not zero.

[0012] It can be seen that the self-excited oscillation circuit of the present application drives the states of two switching tubes (i.e., the first switching tube and the second switching tube) through an active comparator, so that the two switching tubes switch back and forth between the on and off states, respectively, thereby loading an excitation signal with a fixed frequency and an alternating waveform into the detection winding of the leakage current transformer, causing the magnetic core to reciprocally magnetize and move towards saturation. At the same time, the sampling resistor is connected in series with the first end of the detection winding, so that the sampling signal at both ends of the sampling resistor can be the signal output by the detection winding under the internal magnetic field generated by the excitation signal.

[0013] If there is no leakage current in the power connection line, there is no external magnetic field generated by the leakage current within the magnetic core, resulting in symmetry between the positive and negative half-cycles of the sampling signal waveform within the excitation cycle. If there is leakage current in the power connection line, the leakage current generates an external magnetic field. When the external magnetic field is in the same direction as the internal magnetic field, this accelerates the magnetic saturation of the magnetic core; when the external magnetic field is in the opposite direction, this delays the magnetic saturation of the core, resulting in asymmetry between the positive and negative half-cycles of the sampling signal waveform within the excitation cycle. Because the sampling signal waveform varies between the absence and presence of leakage current, the presence of leakage current in the power connection line is determined by detecting whether the integral of the voltage across the sampling resistor within a single cycle is zero. If the integral of the voltage across the sampling resistor within a single cycle is not zero, leakage current is present in the power connection line. This leakage current detection device can thus provide leakage current protection for the inverter, improving inverter safety.

[0014] Optionally, if the input voltage of the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator is higher than the input voltage of the inverting input terminal of the comparator, the signal output by the comparator is a high level; if the input voltage of the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator is lower than the input voltage of the inverting input terminal of the comparator, the signal output by the comparator is a low level; if the signal output by the comparator is a high level, the first switch tube is in the off state and the second switch tube is in the on state; if the signal output by the comparator is a low level, the first switch tube is in the on state and the second switch tube is in the off state.

[0015] As can be seen, the relationship between the input voltage at the comparator's non-inverting input and the input voltage at its inverting input determines whether the comparator's output signal is high or low. The comparator's output signal then drives the states of the first and second switching transistors, causing them to switch back and forth between on and off states, respectively. The two switching transistors are not turned on at the same time, thereby applying a fixed-frequency, alternating waveform excitation signal to the detection winding of the leakage current transformer, causing the magnetic core to reciprocate and magnetize toward saturation.

[0016] Optionally, the self-excited oscillation circuit further includes a first current limiting resistor and a second current limiting resistor; the input end of the first switching tube is connected to the positive DC source through the first current limiting resistor; and the output end of the second switching tube is connected to the negative DC source through the second current limiting resistor.

[0017] It can be seen that the first current limiting resistor is used to limit the current flowing to the first switching tube to ensure the working performance of the first switching tube, and the second current limiting resistor is used to limit the current flowing to the second switching tube to ensure the working performance of the second switching tube.

[0018] Optionally, the self-excited oscillation circuit also includes a third current limiting resistor and a fourth current limiting resistor; the output end of the first switching tube is connected to one end of the third current limiting resistor, and the input end of the second switching tube is connected to one end of the fourth current limiting resistor; the other end of the third current limiting resistor is respectively connected to the other end of the fourth current limiting resistor and the second end of the detection winding.

[0019] It can be seen that the third current limiting resistor is used to limit the current flowing to the first switch tube to ensure the working performance of the first switch tube, and the fourth current limiting resistor is used to limit the current flowing to the second switch tube to ensure the working performance of the second switch tube.

[0020] Optionally, the self-excited oscillation circuit also includes a first diode and a second diode; the positive terminal of the first diode is respectively connected to the negative terminal of the second diode and the second end of the detection winding, and the negative terminal of the first diode is connected to the positive DC source; the positive terminal of the second diode is connected to the negative DC source.

[0021] It can be seen that the induced current can be introduced into the positive DC source VCC through the first diode and the second diode, thereby preventing the induced current from damaging the components in the self-excited oscillation circuit.

[0022] Optionally, the self-excited oscillation circuit further includes a second resistor; the output end of the comparator is connected to one end of the second resistor, and the other end of the second resistor is respectively connected to the driving end of the first switching tube and the driving end of the second switching tube.

[0023] It can be seen that the conduction speeds of the first switching tube and the second switching tube are controlled by the second resistor to meet the required conduction speed requirements.

[0024] Optionally, the self-excited oscillation circuit further includes a third resistor; the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator is connected to one end of the third resistor, and the other end of the third resistor is respectively connected to the first end of the detection winding and one end of the sampling resistor.

[0025] It can be seen that the current flowing into the comparator is limited by the third resistor to protect the comparator.

[0026] Optionally, the driving end of the first switching tube is the gate of the PMOS tube, the input end of the first switching tube is the source of the PMOS tube, and the output end of the first switching tube is the drain of the PMOS tube; the driving end of the second switching tube is the gate of the N-channel metal oxide semiconductor NMOS tube, the input end of the second switching tube is the drain of the NMOS tube, and the output end of the second switching tube is the source of the NMOS tube.

[0027] It can be seen that when the comparator output signal is high, the PMOS transistor is in the off state and the NMOS transistor is in the on state; when the comparator output signal is low, the PMOS transistor is in the on state and the NMOS transistor is in the off state. In this way, the comparator output signal drives the states of the PMOS transistor and the NMOS transistor, causing the PMOS transistor and the NMOS transistor to switch back and forth between the on and off states, respectively. This loads an excitation signal with a fixed frequency and an alternating waveform into the detection winding of the leakage current transformer, causing the magnetic core to reciprocate and magnetize towards saturation.

[0028] Optionally, the inverter further includes a switching circuit, which is provided on the power connection line; the controller is further configured to input a signal for controlling the switching circuit to disconnect when there is a leakage current signal on the power connection line.

[0029] It can be seen that since the switch circuit is provided on the power connection line, when there is a leakage current signal on the power connection line, the switch circuit is turned off to prevent the leakage current from affecting the circuit on the power connection line.

[0030] The second aspect of the present application is a leakage current detection device, comprising: a positive DC source, a negative DC source, a leakage current transformer, a self-excited oscillation circuit, a sampling resistor, and a controller. The leakage current transformer includes a magnetic core and a detection winding wound around the magnetic core, and the magnetic core is sleeved on the power connection line. The self-excited oscillation circuit includes a comparator, a first resistor, a first voltage-dividing resistor, a second voltage-dividing resistor, a first switching tube, and a second switching tube.

[0031] The first power supply terminal of the comparator is respectively connected to a positive DC source and one end of a first resistor, the other end of the first resistor is connected to the output terminal of the comparator, and the second power supply terminal of the comparator is connected to a negative DC source; the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator is connected to the first end of the detection winding; the inverting input terminal of the comparator is respectively connected to one end of a first voltage-dividing resistor and one end of a second voltage-dividing resistor, the other end of the first voltage-dividing resistor is connected to the second end of the detection winding, and the other end of the second voltage-dividing resistor is grounded; the output terminal of the comparator is respectively connected to the driving end of the first switching tube and the driving end of the second switching tube.

[0032] The input end of the first switching tube is connected to the positive DC source, and the output end of the second switching tube is connected to the negative DC source; the output end of the first switching tube is respectively connected to the input end of the second switching tube and the second end of the detection winding; one end of the sampling resistor is connected to the non-inverting input end of the comparator, and the other end of the sampling resistor is grounded.

[0033] The controller is used to output a signal that there is leakage current on the power connection line when the integral value of the voltage across the sampling resistor in a single cycle is not 0.

[0034] As can be seen, when there is no leakage current on the power connection line, the waveform of the sampling signal is symmetrical between the positive and negative half-cycles within the excitation cycle, making the integral value of the voltage across the sampling resistor within a single cycle zero. When there is leakage current on the power connection line, the waveform of the sampling signal is asymmetrical between the positive and negative half-cycles within the excitation cycle, and the integral value of the voltage across the sampling resistor within a single cycle is not zero, that is, the voltage amplitude is not zero. In other words, compared to when there is no leakage current, there is a voltage amplitude difference when there is leakage current.

[0035] In addition, the voltage amplitude difference can be mapped to the leakage current, and this mapping relationship can be obtained in advance through experimental measurements. Furthermore, the larger the voltage amplitude difference, the larger the leakage current; the smaller the voltage amplitude difference, the smaller the leakage current. Ultimately, once a voltage amplitude difference is obtained, the leakage current can be determined based on the voltage amplitude difference and the mapping relationship.

[0036] Optionally, if the input voltage of the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator is higher than the input voltage of the inverting input terminal of the comparator, the signal output by the comparator is a high level; if the input voltage of the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator is lower than the input voltage of the inverting input terminal of the comparator, the signal output by the comparator is a low level; if the signal output by the comparator is a high level, the first switch tube is in the off state and the second switch tube is in the on state; if the signal output by the comparator is a low level, the first switch tube is in the on state and the second switch tube is in the off state.

[0037] As can be seen, the relationship between the input voltage at the comparator's non-inverting input and the input voltage at its inverting input determines whether the comparator's output signal is high or low. The comparator's output signal then drives the states of the first and second switching transistors, causing them to switch back and forth between on and off states, respectively. The two switching transistors are not turned on at the same time, thereby applying a fixed-frequency, alternating waveform excitation signal to the detection winding of the leakage current transformer, causing the magnetic core to reciprocate and magnetize toward saturation.

[0038] Optionally, the self-excited oscillation circuit further includes a first current limiting resistor and a second current limiting resistor; the input end of the first switching tube is connected to the positive DC source through the first current limiting resistor; and the output end of the second switching tube is connected to the negative DC source through the second current limiting resistor.

[0039] It can be seen that the first current limiting resistor is used to limit the current flowing to the first switching tube to ensure the working performance of the first switching tube, and the second current limiting resistor is used to limit the current flowing to the second switching tube to ensure the working performance of the second switching tube.

[0040] Optionally, the self-excited oscillation circuit also includes a third current limiting resistor and a fourth current limiting resistor; the output end of the first switching tube is connected to one end of the third current limiting resistor, and the input end of the second switching tube is connected to one end of the fourth current limiting resistor; the other end of the third current limiting resistor is respectively connected to the other end of the fourth current limiting resistor and the second end of the detection winding.

[0041] It can be seen that the third current limiting resistor is used to limit the current flowing to the first switch tube to ensure the working performance of the first switch tube, and the fourth current limiting resistor is used to limit the current flowing to the second switch tube to ensure the working performance of the second switch tube.

[0042] Optionally, the self-excited oscillation circuit also includes a first diode and a second diode; the positive terminal of the first diode is respectively connected to the negative terminal of the second diode and the second end of the detection winding, and the negative terminal of the first diode is connected to the positive DC source; the positive terminal of the second diode is connected to the negative DC source.

[0043] It can be seen that the induced current can be introduced into the positive DC source VCC through the first diode and the second diode, thereby preventing the induced current from damaging the components in the self-excited oscillation circuit.

[0044] Optionally, the self-excited oscillation circuit further includes a second resistor; the output end of the comparator is connected to one end of the second resistor, and the other end of the second resistor is respectively connected to the driving end of the first switching tube and the driving end of the second switching tube.

[0045] It can be seen that the conduction speeds of the first switching tube and the second switching tube are controlled by the second resistor to meet the required conduction speed requirements.

[0046] Optionally, the self-excited oscillation circuit further includes a third resistor; the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator is connected to one end of the third resistor, and the other end of the third resistor is respectively connected to the first end of the detection winding and one end of the sampling resistor.

[0047] It can be seen that the current flowing into the comparator is limited by the third resistor to protect the comparator.

[0048] Optionally, the driving end of the first switching tube is the gate of the PMOS tube, the input end of the first switching tube is the source of the PMOS tube, and the output end of the first switching tube is the drain of the PMOS tube; the driving end of the second switching tube is the gate of the N-channel metal oxide semiconductor NMOS tube, the input end of the second switching tube is the drain of the NMOS tube, and the output end of the second switching tube is the source of the NMOS tube.

[0049] It can be seen that when the comparator output signal is high, the PMOS transistor is in the off state and the NMOS transistor is in the on state; when the comparator output signal is low, the PMOS transistor is in the on state and the NMOS transistor is in the off state. In this way, the comparator output signal drives the states of the PMOS transistor and the NMOS transistor, causing the PMOS transistor and the NMOS transistor to switch back and forth between the on and off states, respectively. This loads an excitation signal with a fixed frequency and an alternating waveform into the detection winding of the leakage current transformer, causing the magnetic core to reciprocate and magnetize towards saturation.

[0068] Leakage current is one of the common safety hazards in electrical equipment. It is usually caused by ground faults, insulation damage, aging of electrical appliances, etc., which may lead to electrical accidents and threaten personal safety and equipment property. Therefore, the demand for leakage current detection is becoming increasingly important. Based on this, this embodiment requires leakage current detection of electrical equipment. Among them, electrical equipment may include power supply equipment, charging equipment, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), or inverter, etc.

[0069] Taking the inverter in a photovoltaic energy storage system as an example, as shown in Figure 1, the photovoltaic energy storage system 10 includes a photovoltaic string 110, an inverter 120, and a load 130. The inverter 120 includes an inverter circuit 1201 and a leakage current detection device 1202. The photovoltaic string 110 refers to a circuit unit formed by connecting several photovoltaic modules (usually photovoltaic cells of the same specifications) in series in a photovoltaic energy storage system. The inverter circuit 1201 is a circuit that converts direct current into alternating current by controlling switching tubes (such as transistors and switching tubes) and outputs the alternating current to the load 130. The leakage current detection device 1202 is a device that detects leakage current. The load 130 may include various electrical devices or an AC power grid. In this way, the leakage current detection device 1202 provides leakage current protection for the inverter 120, thereby improving the safety of the inverter 120.

[0070] The leakage current detection circuit, the leakage current detection device, and the electrical equipment where the leakage current detection circuit is located are described in detail below.

[0071] [Scheme 1]

[0072] In "Solution 1", this embodiment specifically describes the circuit topology and working principle of the leakage current detection circuit. In specific implementation, the leakage current detection circuit may include a leakage current transformer, a self-excited oscillation circuit, and a sampling resistor.

[0073] A leakage current transformer is an electrical component used to detect leakage current. It typically consists of a primary winding, a secondary winding, and a magnetic core. The primary winding can be made up of the power connection wires of the electrical device. One end of the secondary winding is connected to a self-excited oscillation circuit, and the magnetic core senses the magnetic field generated by the leakage current of the electrical device. The secondary winding can also be called a detection winding.

[0074] A self-excited oscillator circuit is a circuit that generates an excitation signal with a fixed frequency and alternating waveform (such as a square wave or rectangular signal). When the excitation signal flows through the secondary winding, it generates an internal magnetic field, and the magnetic core is magnetized repeatedly within this internal magnetic field and gradually reaches magnetic saturation.

[0075] A sampling resistor is a passive component in a leakage current detection circuit, used to sample and measure physical quantities such as current and voltage. Its resistance can range from a few ohms to several hundred ohms. In a leakage current detection circuit, the sampling resistor can be connected in series with the other end of the secondary winding. Furthermore, the sampled signal across the sampling resistor can be the signal output by the secondary winding in the presence of the inherent magnetic field generated by the excitation signal.

[0076] If there is no leakage current in the power connection line, there is no external magnetic field generated by the leakage current in the magnetic core. At this time, the waveform of the sampling signal is symmetrical in the positive and negative half cycles within the excitation cycle.

[0077] If leakage current flows through a power line, it generates an external magnetic field. When the external magnetic field is in the same direction as the internal magnetic field, this accelerates the core's saturation. When the external magnetic field is in the opposite direction, it delays saturation. Consequently, the waveform of the sampling signal exhibits asymmetry between positive and negative directions within the excitation cycle. This indicates that the waveform of the sampling signal varies between the presence and absence of leakage current, making it suitable for detecting leakage current in power lines.

[0078] "Circuit Topology of Leakage Current Detection Circuit"

[0079] The following is an example of the circuit topology for leakage current detection in this embodiment.

[0080] As shown in Figure 2, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a leakage current detection circuit according to an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 2, the leakage current detection circuit 20 includes a leakage current transformer 210, a self-excited oscillation circuit 220, and a resistor R1. Among them, the resistor R1 is used as a sampling resistor to detect leakage current.

[0081] The leakage current transformer 210 includes a magnetic core 2101 and a detection winding 2102 wound around the magnetic core 2101. The magnetic core 2101 is sleeved on the power connection line 230. The first end of the detection winding 2102 is represented by point M, and the second end of the detection winding 2102 is represented by point N.

[0082] The self-excited oscillation circuit 220 includes a comparator U1 , a resistor R2 , a resistor R3 , a resistor R4 , a switch Q1 , and a switch Q2 .

[0083] The first power supply terminal of the comparator U1 is connected to the positive DC source VCC and one end of the resistor R2 respectively. The other end of the resistor R2 is connected to the output terminal of the comparator U1. The second power supply terminal of the comparator U1 is connected to the negative DC source -VCC.

[0084] The non-inverting input of comparator U1 is connected to the first end of detection winding 2102. The inverting input of comparator U1 is connected to one end of resistor R3 and one end of resistor R4, respectively. The other end of resistor R3 is connected to the second end of detection winding 2102, and the other end of resistor R4 is grounded to GND. The output of comparator U1 is connected to the driving end of switch Q1 and the driving end of switch Q2, respectively.

[0085] The input end of the switch tube Q1 is connected to the positive DC source VCC, the output end of the switch tube Q2 is connected to the negative DC source -VCC, and the output end of the switch tube Q1 is connected to the input end of the switch tube Q2 and the second end of the detection winding 2102.

[0086] One end of the resistor R1 is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U1, and the other end of the resistor R1 is grounded GND.

[0087] It should be noted that if the input voltage at the non-inverting input of comparator U1 (i.e., the voltage at point E) is higher than the input voltage at the inverting input of comparator U1 (i.e., the voltage at point D), the signal output by comparator U1 is a high level; if the input voltage at the non-inverting input of comparator U1 is lower than the input voltage at the inverting input of comparator U1, the signal output by comparator U1 is a low level. If the signal output by comparator U1 is a high level, switch Q1 is in the off state and switch Q2 is in the on state; if the signal output by comparator U1 is a low level, switch Q1 is in the on state and switch Q2 is in the off state. In addition, switch Q1 and switch Q2 can be transistors, metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), or insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), etc., without specific limitation.

[0088] For example, taking the switch transistors Q1 and Q2 as MOSFETs, the switch transistor Q1 can be a P-channel Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (PMOS) transistor, and the switch transistor Q2 can be an N-channel Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (NMOS) transistor. The driving end of the switch transistor Q1 is the gate of the PMOS transistor, the input end of the switch transistor Q1 is the source of the PMOS transistor, and the output end of the switch transistor Q1 is the drain of the PMOS transistor. The driving end of the switch transistor Q2 is the gate of the NMOS transistor, the output end of the switch transistor Q2 is the source of the NMOS transistor, and the input end of the switch transistor Q2 is the drain of the NMOS transistor. Thus, the gate of the PMOS transistor is connected to the output end of the comparator U1, the source of the PMOS transistor is connected to the positive DC source VCC, the drain of the PMOS transistor is connected to the drain of the NMOS transistor and the second end of the detection winding 2102, respectively, the gate of the NMOS transistor is connected to the output end of the comparator U1, and the source of the NMOS transistor is connected to the negative DC source -VCC.

[0089] The following describes the working principles of the leakage current detection circuit 20 under the conditions of no leakage current and leakage current on the power connection line 230 .

[0090] "How a leakage current detection circuit works when there is no leakage current"

[0091] When there is no leakage current on the power connection line 230, the working principle of the leakage current detection circuit 20 is as follows:

[0092] After leakage current detection circuit 20 is powered on, positive DC source VCC provides positive DC power to the first power supply terminal of comparator U1 and the input terminal of switch Q1. Negative DC source -VCC provides negative DC power to the second power supply terminal of comparator U1 and the output terminal of switch Q2. At this point, positive DC source VCC generates a high level at point A through resistor R2.

[0093] When a high level is generated at point A, the switch Q1 is turned off and the switch Q2 is turned on. At this time, the leakage current detection circuit 20 generates a circuit loop, and the voltages at points B and C are pulled to -VCC, as shown in FIG3 .

[0094] In Figure 3, current flows from GND through resistor R1, the first end of detection winding 2102, the second end of detection winding 2102, and switch Q2, ultimately flowing to the negative DC source -VCC. The current flowing through detection winding 2102 generates an internal magnetic field, gradually magnetizing magnetic core 2101 within this field. As magnetic core 2101 magnetizes, the voltage at point E gradually increases from 0 toward -VCC.

[0095] On the path from point C to the grounded resistor R4, resistors R3 and R4 divide the voltage at point C (-VCC). For ease of distinction and description, resistor R3 can be referred to as the "first voltage-dividing resistor" and resistor R4 can be referred to as the "second voltage-dividing resistor." At this point, the voltage at point D is -VCC*R4 / (R3+R4). The resistance of resistors R3 and R4 can be the same or different. When the resistance of resistors R3 and R4 is the same, the voltage at point D is -VCC / 2.

[0096] The following description is made by taking as an example the case where the resistance value of the resistor R3 is the same as the resistance value of the resistor R4 and the voltage at point D is -VCC / 2.

[0097] For the comparator U1 , the input voltage of the inverting input terminal of the comparator U1 is the voltage at point D, and the input voltage of the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U1 is the voltage at point E (ie, the voltage across the resistor R1 ).

[0098] Since the voltage at point E continuously increases from 0 toward -VCC, when the voltage at point E reaches -VCC / 2 and continues to increase toward -VCC, the voltage at point E is lower than the voltage at point D. This means that the voltage at the non-inverting input of comparator U1 is lower than the voltage at its inverting input. This causes the output signal of comparator U1 to be low. Consequently, point A changes from a high level to a low level, causing switch Q2 to switch from on to off, while switch Q1 changes from off to on. At this point, a new circuit loop is created in leakage current detection circuit 20, and the voltages at points B and C are pulled to VCC, as shown in Figure 4.

[0099] In Figure 4, current flows from the positive DC source VCC through the switch Q1, the second end of the detection winding 2102, the first end of the detection winding 2102, and resistor R1, ultimately to ground GND. The current flowing through the detection winding 2102 generates an internal magnetic field, gradually magnetizing the magnetic core 2101 within this field. As the magnetic core 2101 magnetizes, the voltage at point E gradually increases from -VCC / 2 (or slightly less) toward VCC.

[0100] In the path from point C to resistor R4 ground, resistors R3 and R4 divide the voltage (VCC) at point C. Assuming the resistance of resistors R3 and R4 is the same, the voltage at point D is VCC / 2.

[0101] Since the voltage at point E continuously increases from -VCC / 2 (or -VCC / 2 slightly less) toward VCC, when the voltage at point E reaches VCC / 2 and continues to increase toward VCC, the voltage at point E is higher than the voltage at point D. This means that the input voltage at the non-inverting input of comparator U1 is higher than the input voltage at the inverting input of comparator U1. This causes the output signal of comparator U1 to be high. Consequently, point A changes from a low level to a high level, causing switch Q2 to switch from an off state to an on state, while switch Q1 switches from an on state to an off state. At this point, leakage current detection circuit 20 generates the circuit loop shown in Figure 3. The current flowing through detection winding 2102 generates an internal magnetic field, and magnetic core 2101 gradually magnetizes within this internal magnetic field. As magnetic core 2101 magnetizes, the voltage at point E continuously increases from VCC / 2 (or VCC / 2 slightly greater) toward -VCC.

[0102] As can be seen, by continuously repeating the above process, the voltage waveform of the self-excited oscillation circuit 220 at point B (or point C) and the voltage waveform across resistor R1 (i.e., the voltage waveform at point E) are shown in Figure 5. In Figure 5, the voltage waveform at point B is symmetrical between the positive and negative half-cycles during the excitation cycle, and the voltage waveform across resistor R1 is also symmetrical between the positive and negative half-cycles during the excitation cycle.

[0103] "How Leakage Current Detection Circuits Work in the Presence of Leakage Current"

[0104] When there is leakage current on the power connection line 230, the working principle of the leakage current detection circuit 20 is as follows:

[0105] Leakage current on power connection line 230 generates an external magnetic field. When leakage current detection circuit 20 generates the circuit loop shown in Figure 3, current flows from the first end of detection winding 2102 to the second end of detection winding 2102. This current flowing through detection winding 2102 generates an internal magnetic field, gradually magnetizing magnetic core 2101 within the internal magnetic field. As magnetic core 2101 magnetizes, the voltage at point E continuously increases from 0 to -VCC.

[0106] At this time, when the direction of the external magnetic field generated by the leakage current on the power connection line 230 is the same as the direction of the internal magnetic field, this will accelerate the magnetic core 2101 to reach magnetic saturation, making the voltage at point E move toward -VCC faster, that is, the voltage at point E drops faster.

[0107] When the voltage at point E quickly reaches near -VCC / 2, the voltage at point E is lower than the voltage at point D, causing the output signal of comparator U1 to be low. At this point, leakage current detection circuit 20 generates the circuit loop shown in Figure 4, with current flowing from the second end of detection winding 2102 to the first end of detection winding 2102. Because the direction of the current flowing through detection winding 2102 in Figure 4 is opposite to the direction of the current flowing through detection winding 2102 in Figure 3, the direction of the internal magnetic field generated by the current in Figure 4 is opposite to the direction of the internal magnetic field generated by the current in Figure 4. While the direction of the external magnetic field generated by the leakage current remains unchanged, the direction of the external magnetic field generated by the leakage current is opposite to the direction of the internal magnetic field at this time, which delays the magnetic core from reaching magnetic saturation.

[0108] It can be seen that by continuously repeating the above process, the voltage waveform of the self-excited oscillation circuit 220 at point B (or point C) and the voltage waveform across the resistor R1 (i.e., the voltage waveform at point E) are shown in Figure 6. In Figure 6, the voltage waveform at point B when there is no leakage current is symmetrical in the positive and negative half-cycles during the excitation cycle, while the voltage waveform at point B when there is leakage current is asymmetrical in the positive and negative half-cycles during the excitation cycle. In addition, the voltage waveform across the resistor R1 when there is no leakage current is also symmetrical in the positive and negative half-cycles during the excitation cycle, while the voltage waveform across the resistor R1 when there is leakage current is asymmetrical in the positive and negative half-cycles during the excitation cycle. In this way, the signal across the resistor R1 can be used to detect leakage current on the power connection line 230.

[0109] [Scheme 2]

[0110] For the leakage current detection circuit in "Solution 1," this embodiment can add additional components to improve the performance of the leakage current detection circuit. In "Solution 2," this embodiment can add a current-limiting resistor in the path from the positive DC source VCC through the switch Q1 to point B to limit the current flowing to the switch Q1 and ensure the operating performance of the switch Q1; and / or add a current-limiting resistor in the path from the negative DC source -VCC through the switch Q2 to point B to limit the current flowing to the switch Q2 and ensure the operating performance of the switch Q2.

[0111] For example, taking the example of adding current limiting resistors between the input end of the switch tube Q1 and the positive DC source VCC and between the output end of the switch tube Q2 and the negative DC source -VCC, as shown in Figure 7. In Figure 7, the self-excited oscillation circuit 220 also includes a resistor R5 and a resistor R6. Among them, the input end of the switch tube Q1 is connected to one end of the resistor R5, and the other end of the resistor R5 is connected to the positive DC source VCC, that is, the input end of the switch tube Q1 is connected to the positive DC source VCC through the resistor R5. The output end of the switch tube Q2 is connected to one end of the resistor R6, and the other end of the resistor R6 is connected to the negative DC source -VCC, that is, the output end of the switch tube Q2 is connected to the negative DC source -VCC through the resistor R6. For the convenience of distinction and description, the resistor R5 can be called the "first current limiting resistor" and the resistor R6 can be called the "second current limiting resistor."

[0112] In this way, the resistor R5 is used to limit the current flowing to the switch tube Q1 to ensure the working performance of the switch tube Q1, and the resistor R6 is used to limit the current flowing to the switch tube Q2 to ensure the working performance of the switch tube Q2.

[0113] For another example, take adding current-limiting resistors between the output end of the switch tube Q1 and point B and between the input end of the switch tube Q1 and point B as an example, as shown in Figure 8. In Figure 8, the self-excited oscillation circuit 220 also includes resistors R7 and R8. Among them, the output end of the switch tube Q1 is connected to one end of the resistor R7, and the input end of the switch tube Q2 is connected to one end of the resistor R8. The other end of the resistor R7 is respectively connected to the other end of the resistor R8 and the second end of the detection winding 2102. For the sake of distinction and description, the resistor R7 can be referred to as the "third current-limiting resistor" and the resistor R8 can be referred to as the "fourth current-limiting resistor."

[0114] In this way, the resistor R7 is used to limit the current flowing to the switch tube Q1 to ensure the working performance of the switch tube Q1, and the resistor R8 is used to limit the current flowing to the switch tube Q2 to ensure the working performance of the switch tube Q2.

[0115] [Scheme 3]

[0116] For the leakage current detection circuit in "Solution 1" or "Solution 2," this embodiment can add some additional devices to protect the components within the leakage current detection circuit. Since the detection winding 2102 of the leakage current transformer 210 may be affected by an external magnetic field to generate an induced current, and the induced current flows along the detection winding 2102 to the self-oscillation circuit 220, the large induced current may damage the components within the self-oscillation circuit 220. Therefore, the hazards caused by the large induced current need to be considered.

[0117] For example, in the event of external lightning, the detection winding 2102 is subjected to an external magnetic field to generate a large induced current.

[0118] Based on this, in this embodiment, a diode can be connected to the second end of the detection winding 2102 so as to introduce the induced current into the positive DC source VCC through the diode, thereby preventing the induced current from damaging the components in the self-excited oscillation circuit 220.

[0119] For example, as shown in Figure 9, the self-oscillation circuit 220 also includes a diode D1 and a diode D2. The positive terminal of diode D1 is connected to the negative terminal of diode D2 and the second end of the detection winding 2102, respectively. The negative terminal of diode D1 is connected to the positive DC source VCC, and the positive terminal of diode D2 is connected to the negative DC source -VCC. For ease of distinction and description, diode D1 can be referred to as the "first diode" and diode D2 can be referred to as the "second diode."

[0120] In this way, the induced current can be introduced into the positive DC source VCC through the diode D1 and the diode D2, thereby preventing the induced current from damaging the components in the self-excited oscillation circuit 220.

[0121] [Scheme 4]

[0122] For the leakage current detection circuit in "Solution 1," "Solution 2," or "Solution 3," this embodiment can add additional components to improve the performance of the leakage current detection circuit. In "Solution 4," this embodiment can add a resistor in the path from the output of comparator U1 to point A. This resistor can be used to control the conduction speed of switches Q1 and Q2. Thus, by adjusting the resistance of the resistor, the conduction speed of switch Q1 or Q2 can be ensured to be within the required range.

[0123] For example, as shown in FIG10 , the self-excited oscillation circuit 220 further includes a resistor R9. The output of the comparator U1 is connected to one end of the resistor R9, and the other end of the resistor R9 is connected to the driving end of the switch Q1 and the driving end of the switch Q2, respectively. For ease of distinction and description, the resistor R9 may be referred to as the "second resistor."

[0124] In this way, the conduction speeds of the switch tubes Q1 and Q2 are controlled by the resistor R9 to meet the required conduction speed requirements.

[0125] [Scheme 5]

[0126] For the leakage current detection circuit in "Solution 1," "Solution 2," "Solution 3," or "Solution 4," this embodiment can add some additional components to improve the performance of the leakage current detection circuit. In "Solution 5," this embodiment can add a resistor in the path from the non-inverting input of comparator U1 to point E. This resistor can be used to limit the current flowing into comparator U1, thereby protecting comparator U1.

[0127] For example, as shown in FIG11 , the self-excited oscillation circuit 220 further includes a resistor R10 , wherein the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U1 is connected to one end of the resistor R10 , and the other end of the resistor R10 is connected to the first end of the detection winding 2102 and one end of the resistor R1 , respectively.

[0128] In this way, the current flowing into the comparator U1 is limited by the resistor R10 to protect the comparator U1.

[0129] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, "Solution 1" can be combined with "Solutions 2 to 5" to obtain a circuit topology for the leakage current detection circuit, thereby improving the operating performance of the leakage current detection circuit. For example, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, this will not be repeated here.

[0130] [Scheme 6]

[0131] The self-excited oscillation circuit 220 of this embodiment needs to drive the states of the switch tubes Q1 and Q2 respectively to generate an excitation signal. In the above scheme, this embodiment directly drives the states of the switch tubes Q1 and Q2 through the signal output by the comparator U1. For example, if the signal output by the comparator U1 is high, the switch tube Q1 is in the off state and the switch tube Q2 is in the on state; if the signal output by the comparator U1 is low, the switch tube Q1 is in the on state and the switch tube Q2 is in the off state.

[0132] However, in "Solution 6," this embodiment can add an inverter on the path from the output of comparator U1 to point A, and use the output signal of the inverter to drive the states of switches Q1 and Q2. The inverter can convert a high-level input to a low-level input or vice versa.

[0133] Thus, if the comparator U1 outputs a high signal, the inverter outputs a low signal, turning off switch Q1 and turning on switch Q2. If the comparator U1 outputs a low signal, the inverter outputs a high signal, turning on switch Q1 and turning off switch Q2. For example, if switch Q1 and switch Q2 are MOSFETs, switch Q1 can be an NMOS transistor and switch Q2 can be a PMOS transistor.

[0134] For example, an inverter is added to the leakage current detection circuit 20 shown in FIG2 , as shown in FIG14 . In FIG14 , the self-oscillation circuit further includes an inverter V1 . The output of the comparator U1 is connected to the input of the inverter V1 , and the output of the inverter V1 is connected to the driving end of the switch tube Q1 and the driving end of the switch tube Q2 , respectively.

[0135] [Scheme 7]

[0136] In "Solution 7," this embodiment specifically describes the circuit topology of a leakage current detection device. In a specific implementation, the leakage current detection device may include a positive DC source, a negative DC source, a leakage current detection circuit, and a controller. The leakage current detection circuit includes a leakage current transformer, a self-excited oscillation circuit, and a sampling resistor. The controller may be connected to one end of the sampling resistor in the leakage current detection circuit.

[0137] The circuit topology of the leakage current detection circuit can be the circuit topology mentioned in the above-mentioned various solutions, which will not be described in detail. The filter circuit can be used to filter the sampling signal at both ends of the sampling resistor to obtain an output signal, and transmit the output signal to the calculation circuit.

[0138] When there is no leakage current on the power connection line, the waveform of the sampled signal is symmetrical between the positive and negative half-cycles within the excitation cycle. For example, the voltage waveform across resistor R1 in Figure 5 is symmetrical between the positive and negative half-cycles within the excitation cycle. That is, the area of ​​the waveform in the negative half-cycle is the same as the area in the positive half-cycle, making the integral value of the voltage across resistor R1 within a single cycle zero. Thus, ideally, the voltage amplitude across resistor R1 is zero.

[0139] When leakage current flows through the power line, the waveform of the sampled signal becomes asymmetrical within the excitation cycle. For example, the voltage waveform across resistor R1 in Figure 5 exhibits asymmetrical polarity within the excitation cycle. This means that the area of ​​the waveform during the negative half-cycle differs from the area during the positive half-cycle, causing the integral of the voltage across resistor R1 within a single cycle to be non-zero. Ideally, the voltage amplitude across resistor R1 will no longer be zero. This means that when leakage current is present, the voltage amplitude will differ compared to when there is no leakage current.

[0140] It should be noted that the voltage amplitude difference can be mapped to the leakage current, and this mapping relationship can be obtained in advance through experimental measurements. Furthermore, the larger the voltage amplitude difference, the larger the leakage current; the smaller the voltage amplitude difference, the smaller the leakage current. Thus, once a voltage amplitude difference is obtained, the leakage current can be determined based on the voltage amplitude difference and the aforementioned mapping relationship.

[0141] For example, based on the leakage current detection circuit 20 shown in FIG2 , the circuit topology of the leakage current detection device is shown in FIG15 . In FIG15 , the leakage current detection device 1500 includes a positive DC source VCC, a negative DC source -VCC, the leakage current detection circuit 20, and a controller 1510. One end of the resistor R1 is connected to the non-inverting input of the comparator U1, the controller 1510, and the first end of the detection winding 2102, respectively, and the other end of the resistor R1 is grounded.

[0142] The controller 1510 can be configured to output a signal indicating leakage current on the power connection line 230 when the integral value of the voltage across the resistor R1 within a single cycle is not zero (or in other words, the voltage amplitude across the resistor R1 is not zero). In this way, the leakage current detection device 1500 can detect whether there is leakage current on the power connection line 230 based on the voltage across the resistor R1.

[0143] In another possible implementation, the leakage current detection device may include a filter circuit, and the controller is connected to one end of the sampling resistor through the filter circuit. The filter circuit may be used to filter the sampled signal across the sampling resistor to obtain an output signal, and transmit the output signal to the controller.

[0144] For example, based on Figure 15 , as shown in Figure 16 . In Figure 16 , the leakage current detection device 1500 further includes a filter circuit 1610 . One end of the resistor R1 is connected to the non-inverting input of the comparator U1, the input of the filter circuit 1610, and the first end of the detection winding 2102 , respectively, and the other end of the resistor R1 is grounded. The output of the filter circuit 1610 is connected to the controller 1510 . The filter circuit 1610 is used to filter the sampled signals at both ends of the resistor R1 to obtain an output signal. The controller 1510 is used to determine whether there is a leakage current on the power connection line 230 based on whether the voltage amplitude of the output signal is 0. When the voltage amplitude of the output signal is 0, this indicates that there is no leakage current on the power connection line 230; when the voltage amplitude of the output signal is not 0, this indicates that there is a leakage current on the power connection line 230.

[0145] [Scheme 8]

[0146] In "Solution 8", this embodiment specifically describes the inverter where the leakage current detection device is located. In a specific implementation, the inverter may include an inverter circuit and a leakage current detection device.

[0147] An inverter circuit can be a circuit that converts a DC signal into an AC signal. The inverter circuit's input is connected to a photovoltaic string, and its output is connected to a load via a power connection line. The load can include an AC power grid.

[0148] For example, based on the leakage current detection device 1500 shown in FIG15 , the circuit topology of the inverter is shown in FIG17 . In FIG17 , the inverter 1700 includes an inverter circuit 1710 and the leakage current detection device 1500 . The input end of the inverter circuit 1710 is connected to the photovoltaic string 1720 , and the output end of the inverter circuit 1710 is connected to the load 1730 via the power connection line 230 . The inverter circuit 1710 is used to convert the received direct current into alternating current and output it to the load 1730 . In this way, the leakage current detection device 1500 can provide leakage current protection for the inverter 1700, thereby improving the safety of the inverter 1700 .

[0149] In another possible implementation, the inverter further includes a switching circuit, which is disposed on the power connection line and connected to the controller. The controller is further configured to input a signal to control the switching circuit to disconnect when a leakage current signal is detected on the power connection line. Thus, since the switching circuit is disposed on the power connection line, when a leakage current signal is detected on the power connection line, the switching circuit is disconnected to prevent the leakage current from affecting circuits on the power connection line.

[0150] For example, based on FIG17 , as shown in FIG18 , inverter 1700 further includes a switching circuit 1810. Switching circuit 1810 is provided on power connection line 230 and is connected to controller 1510. The above-described specific embodiments further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this application. It should be understood that the above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made based on the technical solutions of this application shall be included within the scope of protection of this application.
