  • Patent number: 10256063
    Abstract: A controller for an alternating current contactor includes: a filtering and rectification circuit that filters and rectifies external alternating current; an electromagnet component driven by an output of the filtering and rectification circuit that performs actions of attraction, holding or releasing; a power transistor circuit connected to the electromagnet component; and a microcontroller that controls the power transistor circuit to control the actions performed by the electromagnet component. The controller further includes a voltage control loop that provides a voltage feedback signal and a current control loop that provides a current feedback signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller generates a control signal according to the voltage feedback signal.

  • Patent number: 9847197
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a protection module for a control and protective switching device, comprising a control power supply processing unit, an auxiliary power supply processing unit, a power supply converting unit, a signal processing and controlling unit, a trip electromagnet driving unit, a control electromagnet driving unit, and a man-machine interaction device. The control power supply processing unit and the auxiliary power supply processing unit receive a power supply signal from a high voltage power supply, and process the signal for supplying power for other components. The signal processing and controlling unit receives a mutual-induction signal from a current mutual inductor, outputs a first control signal and a second control signal to the trip electromagnet driving unit and the control electromagnet driving unit, and receives a first feedback signal and a second feedback signal from an operation mechanism and a control electromagnet.
