    摘要: A multi-switch types hybrid power electronics build block (MST HPEBB) least replaceable unit converter employs a first low voltage side (for example, 1000 volt power switches) and a second high voltage side (for example, 3000 volt power switches). The MST HPEBB LRU employs multiple bridge converters connected in series and/or in parallel, and coupled in part by a 1:1 transformer. To reduce weight and volume requirements compared to known PEBB LRUs, different power switch types are employed in different bridge converters. For example, in one exemplary embodiment, low voltage 1.7 kVolt SiC MOSFETS may be employed on the lower voltage side, while at least some 4.5 kVolt Silicon IGBTs may be employed on the high voltage side.

    摘要: In a half-bridge self-exciting switching power supply, an over-voltage detector receives the power supply output and generates an over-voltage signal when the power supply output exceeds a preset limit. An over-voltage cut-off circuit is connected to a pulse-width-modulated controller and a driving unit of the switching power supply. The over-voltage cut-off circuit applies a pull-down voltage to the driving unit so as to inhibit self-exciting operation of first and second self-excited switching circuits of a half-bridge self-excited circuit, and disables the pulse-width-modulated controller upon reception of the over-voltage signal from the over-voltage detector. Therefore, when the pulse-width-modulated controller or the driving unit becomes defective, the switching power supply can be cut-off automatically in order to prevent damage to a load and to the other components of the switching power supply.

    摘要: In an electronic ballast, a half-bridge inverter drives a series-connected LC circuit near the LC circuit's natural resonance frequency. A relatively high-magnitude substantially sinusoidal 30 kHz output voltage develops across the tank-capacitor of the LC circuit. Each of several instant-start fluorescent lamps is series-connected with a current-limiting capacitor, thereby resulting in several lamp-capacitor series-combinations, each of which is connected across the tank-capacitor. The ballast is powered from ordinary 120 Volt/60 Hz power line voltage by way of a full-wave rectifier. At the DC output terminals of this rectifier exists a DC voltage having an instantaneous absolute magnitude equal to that of the power line voltage. Within the ballast, the inverter is powered from a DC supply voltage of constant magnitude about equal to the peak magnitude of the power line voltage. By interposing power-drawing circuitry in series with each lamp-capacitor combination, an auxiliary DC voltage is developed across a pair of auxiliary DC terminals. When no current flows from the auxiliary DC terminals, the magnitude of the auxiliary DC voltage is equal to that of the DC supply voltage. The maximum DC current available from the auxiliary DC terminals varies with the magnitude of the combined lamp currents and is adjusted so as to be equal to the peak magnitude of the current drawn from the power line; which current, as a result, is nearly sinusoidal.

    摘要: A current-fed parallel-resonant self-oscillating electronic ballast includes four special switching devices, each serving the function of a single switching transistor in a full-bridge inverter. Each special switching device includes two series-connected field effect transistors synchronously gated via positive feedback of a sinusoidal output voltage. The reason for using two series-connected field-effect transistors in lieu of a single field-effect transistor of higher voltage rating relates to the fact that, for the DC supply voltages associated with certain electronic ballast circuits powered from commonly encountered power line voltages, field-effect transistors of lower voltage ratings (e.g., 400 Volt) are substantially lower in cost per-unit Volt-Ampere rating as compared with field-effect transistors of higher voltage ratings (e.g., 800 Volt). Thus, although such higher-voltage transistors are readily available, the net overall ballast cost will nevertheless be significantly reduced by using the special switching devices.
