  • Publication number: 20150244288
    Abstract: An inverting apparatus including an inverting circuit and a control circuit is provided. The inverting circuit has a first bridge arm unit, a second bridge arm unit, and an energy charging/discharging unit. The energy charging-discharging unit is coupled between the first bridge and the second bridge arm units. The first bridge ail 1 unit is switched according to a first and a second control signals and the second bridge arm unit is switched according to a third and a fourth control signals, so as to converts a DC input voltage into an AC output voltage. The control circuit controls the power conversion of the inverting circuit by the control signals. The control circuit samples magnetizing currents flow through the first and the second bridge arm units so as to adjust switch timing of the control signals, and thus the inverting circuit is operated at the boundary conduction mode (BCM).

  • Publication number: 20150244256
    Abstract: An inverting apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. The inverting apparatus includes an inverting circuit, a capacitor, and a control circuit. The inverting circuit receives a DC input power and is configured to convert the DC input power into an AC output power, wherein an AC output current of the AC output power is preset to a preset output current. The capacitor is connected to an output terminal of the inverting circuit. The control circuit is coupled to the inverting circuit and is configured to control a power conversion of the inverting circuit, wherein the control circuit superimposes a preset capacitor compensation current of which the phase leads to the preset output current on the preset output current, so as to control the inverting circuit to adjust the AC output current and provide the adjusted AC output current to a power grid.

  • Patent number: 8198825
    Abstract: An illuminating module is capable of compensating current. The illuminating module can tune the light with a light modulating circuit. The illuminating module includes an illuminating unit and a compensating circuit. The illuminating unit includes a power source, a load impedance, and a level unit. The level unit has a level potential which changes with the light modulating circuit. The compensating circuit includes a first resistor, a first switch, and a judging unit. The first resistor is coupled to the power source. The first switch is coupled to the first resistor and the illuminating unit. The judging unit is coupled to the level unit and the first switch. When the level potential is less than a predetermined potential, the judging unit makes the first switch to be at the conducting state to parallel connect the first resistor and the load impedance.
