PFC inverter board operation
– The inverter boards consists of fuses, relay, big relay, and hall current sensors.
– The AC 3-phase input will go through the fuses. By turning on the bias, the AC
input will go through a small relay with a resistor path in order to have a soft
charge on the capacitor in the driver board. After that, the big relay will be
turned on when you hear the second clicking sound.
– The current passes through the hall sensor into the choke followed by the IGBT
and output capacitors.
PFC driver board operation
– The PFC driver boards consists of photo-detectors and big capacitors. The
gate driver output is influenced by signals from the photo-detector circuitry.
During normal operation, if the supply voltage is above the UVLO threshold,
the output of the photo-detector will drive the IGBTs of the output stage.
