    Abstract: A power sourcing equipment includes a residual current detection unit, a voltage detection unit, and a controller. The controller determines an insulation resistance value at the input end of the power sourcing equipment based on a first preset voltage parameter value, a first residual current value, a second preset voltage parameter value, and a second residual current value. The first residual current value is a residual current value of the power sourcing equipment when a voltage parameter of the power sourcing equipment includes the first preset voltage parameter value. The second residual current value is a residual current value of the power sourcing equipment when the voltage parameter of the power sourcing equipment includes the second preset voltage parameter value.

    Abstract: A photovoltaic system, a power supply system, and an insulation fault detection method. An insulation impedance detection circuit is connected between a bus and the ground. The bus includes the direct current positive bus, the neutral bus, or the direct current negative bus. The insulation impedance detection circuit includes at least a switch. The direct current negative bus is connected to the neutral bus by using an electrical element or a voltage source. A controller obtains insulation impedance based on voltages to ground of the bus that are separately corresponding to the switch before and after the switch is turned on, and determines, based on the insulation impedance, whether there is an insulation fault in the photovoltaic system, to perform protection in a timely manner.

    Abstract: A photovoltaic system and a circulating current suppression method. The system includes a controller and at least two inverters. A direct current input terminal of each inverter is connected to a corresponding photovoltaic array. Alternating current output terminals of the at least two inverters are connected in parallel. The controller is configured to: obtain a direct current component of a common-mode output current of at least one of the at least two inverters and adjust a direct current bus voltage of the corresponding inverter based on a magnitude of the direct current component of the common-mode output current, to suppress a circulating current between the at least two inverters. A circulating current between a plurality of inverters connected in parallel can be suppressed, thereby reducing loss caused by a circulating current, and improving power supply efficiency.

    Abstract: A common mode current controller of an inverter includes switches and an impedance correction circuit. One end of the impedance correction circuit is grounded, and the other end is connected to one end of each of the switches. The other end of each of the switches is connected to one of a positive terminal and a negative terminal of a direct current busbar capacitor. When a midpoint-to-ground voltage of the direct current busbar capacitor exceeds a threshold range, the switches are closed to adjust impedance matching between a positive terminal-to-ground equivalent impedance of the direct current busbar capacitor and a negative terminal-to-ground equivalent impedance of the direct current busbar capacitor.
