Patent number: 12537374Abstract: A photovoltaic system, a relay detection method, and a power supply system. When a fault, for example, sticking of the relay is detected, the controller stops sending a PWM driver gating signal to the inverter, and stops driving of a switch transistor in the inverter, and the inverter stops outputting power, and then determines whether a voltage difference between two ends of the relay is greater than a preset value, to determine whether the relay is faulty. The controller stops sending the PWM driver gating signal to the inverter only within a preset phase range of a voltage of the filter capacitor, to ensure that the voltage of the filter capacitor has a large value. Because the voltage of the filter capacitor is large, an alternating current grid-to-ground voltage is pulled up, to avoid detecting the fault as an alternating current grid-to-ground short circuit.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2024Date of Patent: January 27, 2026Assignee: HUAWEI DIGITAL POWER TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Li Lu, Kai Xin, Xinyu Yu, Yunfeng Liu
