    Abstract: A short-circuit protection apparatus includes a first detection branch, a second detection branch, and a controller. The first detection branch includes a first sampling resistor and a first sampling capacitor that is connected in parallel to the first sampling resistor. A difference between an absolute value of a second sampling voltage and an absolute value of a first sampling voltage is a first difference. The controller obtains a comparison result between an absolute value of a first sampling voltage at two terminals of the first sampling resistor and an absolute value of a second sampling voltage at two terminals of the second sampling resistor, and if a difference between the absolute value of the second sampling voltage and the absolute value of the first sampling voltage is a second difference and the second difference is less than the first difference, controls the target circuit to stop working.

    Abstract: A power converter box and at least one junction box are integrated on a backplane of the photovoltaic module as a whole, and there is a cable for connecting the power converter and the junction box. In this case, relative to the conventional technology in which a junction box is independent of a power converter, a length of a cable used when the junction box and the power converter box are taken as a whole is shorter than a length of a cable used in the conventional technology. In this case, compared with the conventional technology in which a cable is connected to an independently placed power converter, the power converter only needs to establish a connection relationship by using a solder ribbon, a circuit board cable, and the like with low costs, so that production costs are low.

    Abstract: A serial-parallel converter protection system includes a controller, a drive, a first switching transistor, and a second switching transistor. An input terminal of a converter is connected to an output terminal of the converter through the first switching transistor. The output terminal of the converter is connected in parallel with the second switching transistor. When an output voltage of the converter is greater than a first threshold, the controller controls the first switching transistor to be turned off and controls the second switching transistor to be turned on. In some embodiments, when the output voltage of the converter is greater than the first threshold, the controller controls the first switching transistor to be turned off and controls the second switching transistor to be turned on, so that the converter is bypassed, thereby preventing a voltage and a current from impacting a component inside the converter.

    Abstract: This application provides a power converter box used in a photovoltaic system. The power converter box includes at least two power converters, and the at least two power converters include one primary power converter and at least one secondary power converter. The primary power converter obtains status information of a photovoltaic substring corresponding to a secondary power converter, and sends, to an inverter by using a PLC communication module in the primary power converter, the status information of the photovoltaic substring corresponding to the secondary power converter and status information of a photovoltaic substring corresponding to the primary power converter. The primary power converter further receives, by using the PLC communication module in the primary power converter, control information sent by the inverter, controls, based on the control information, an output power of the photovoltaic substring corresponding to the primary power converter.

    Abstract: A breaker apparatus and an inverter system are configured to disconnect an electrical connection when a fault occurs in a protected circuit. The breaker apparatus is connected in series in a protected circuit, and is configured to disconnect the electrical connection when a fault occurs in the protected circuit. The breaker apparatus includes a first branch, and a second branch. The first branch includes an overcurrent-automatic-disconnection unit and a first current limiting unit that are connected in series, where the overcurrent-automatic-disconnection unit is configured to be automatically disconnected when a current flowing through the overcurrent-automatic-disconnection unit exceeds a breaking current threshold. The a second branch is configured to be open or closed under control of the controller. The controller is configured to control the first controllable switch unit to be closed when the protected circuit operates normally, and control the first controllable switch unit to be open when a fault occurs in the protected circuit.
