  • Publication number: 20240146067
    Abstract: A rapid shutdown system and a method for controlling the rapid shutdown system are provided. A disturbance is applied to a direct-current side of an inverter in the rapid shutdown system only when the inverter does not meet a starting condition, i.e., before the inverter starts. Once meeting the starting condition, the inverter normally operates. A shutdown device in the rapid shutdown system determines its state by determining whether the electrical signal at its output end meets the preset condition, and switches itself on or off in response to its determination.

  • Publication number: 20240136817
    Abstract: A rapid shutdown system and a method for controlling the rapid shutdown system are provided. For each of shutdown devices in the rapid shutdown system, an electrical signal disturbance is applied to a direct current bus connected to the shutdown device at least once within each pre-shutdown period of the shutdown device, by an inverter in the rapid shutdown system operating in a mode of limited power output. Then, the shutdown device samples its input parameter and/or output parameter and determines, based on the sampled input parameter and/or the sampled output parameter, whether the electrical signal disturbance applied to the direct current bus meets a preset condition. The shutdown device switches itself on or remains in an ON state in response to a determination result that the electrical-signal disturbance already meets the preset condition.

    Abstract: A high voltage battery cluster, and an overcurrent protection circuit and a switch box of the high voltage battery cluster are provided. The overcurrent protection circuit includes a first fusing module and a second fusing module. Since a withstand current-time curve of the first fusing module is different from a withstand current-time curve of the second fusing module, in a case that an overcurrent fault occurs in a high voltage battery cluster, one fusing module can cause an open circuit in the high voltage battery cluster prior to another fusing module, thereby preventing the high voltage battery cluster from being broken by a large current when an overcurrent fault occurs in the high voltage battery cluster, thus ensuring an electrical safety of the high voltage battery cluster.
