Abstract: An electrical power conversion device, a function triggering circuit for the electrical power conversion device, and a function triggering method for the electrical power conversion device are provided. The function triggering circuit is coupled between the secondary side of the transformer and the control module and includes a current detection circuit, a delay circuit and a switching circuit. The current detection circuit senses the secondary side of the transformer to generate a detection signal of delay. Before steady-state duty of the transformer, the delay circuit causes an initial level to be higher than an internal level. After steady-state duty of the transformer, the switching circuit selectively generates a function triggering signal according to the detection signal. The function triggering signal is for triggering the control module to carry out an overcurrent protection operation.
