The invention discloses a control method and device for an alternating-current
solid-state
power controller with a
current limiting function. Through control over a first power tube and a second power tube of a
main branch circuit and a third power tube and a fourth power tube of a
current limiting branch circuit, when loads are normally started, natural zero-
voltage turn-on and natural zero-current turnoff of the alternating-current
solid-state
power controller are achieved within a half of power source period, when large-capacity capacitive loads or
rectifier bridge loads with large-capacity filtering
capacitance are started, current-limiting charging is firstly performed through the current-limiting
branch circuit, and then the alternating-current
solid-state power controlled is completely turned on; when a
short circuit fault happens on the alternating-current solid-state
power controller, the
main branch circuit is firstly turned off to perform
fault current limiting, and then the alternating-current solid-state power controller is turned off. Natural zero-
voltage on-off of the alternating-current SSPC is achieved within the half of the power source period, besides, the control method and device have a high-power current-limiting function, capacity for carrying the capacitive loads and the
rectifier bridge loads of the alternating-current SSPC is improved, and anti-interference capacity of
short circuit protection of the alternating-current SSPC is improved.
