PFC overcurrent protection test
The IMC302A’s MCE firmware has two options for PFC overcurrent protection: cycle-by-cycle and latch-up OCP.
Figure 33 shows the OCP behavior of cycle-by-cycle current protection. When input current I
ac
reaches 18 A
PEAK
(13.6 A
RMS
), it becomes flat-topped, which means input peak current is limited by cycle-by-cycle function.
