Definitions
- the invention relates to a control circuit for an electromagnetic relay according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Electromagnetic relays are generally ideal for switching electrical loads on the AC network, their high dielectric strength for separating the control and load circuits and their insensitivity to voltage peaks and current peaks in the switched load circuit having a particularly advantageous effect.
- the errors that usually occur in semiconductors in the load circuit cannot arise with relays, which often reduces the monitoring effort.
- relays that switch AC loads also have problems and disadvantages.
- the contact life is severely impaired by high cold currents, especially when switching on incandescent lamp loads, and when switching off due to arcing until the following mains voltage zero crossing.
- a zero crossing circuit is known from European patent application EP-A-108 538, in which one of two solenoids (electromagnets of a contactor) is optionally driven with a short pulse in order to either switch a load on or off.
- This pulse is an output signal which is synchronized with the zero crossing point when a corresponding switch is actuated.
- an electronic circuit is provided, which brings about a predetermined delay.
- These pulses arrive from the outputs of the IC via an electronic circuit arrangement made up of several transistors for pulse amplification to the windings of the electromagnets.
- DE-A-2 929 261 describes a device for actuating a relay which has a drive circuit with a transistor at one point of the relay winding and a capacitor and resistor at the other relay winding.
- this known circuit causes the relay to respond very slowly in order to achieve the lowest possible current consumption. An accelerated response of a relay with a DC supply voltage that is higher than the nominal voltage of the relay winding is therefore not possible.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a control circuit of the type mentioned, the switching of the relay can be achieved with a relatively small amount of circuitry even with a large spread of the response sides within the same relay types close to the zero crossing, so that the life of the relay contacts are considerably increased can.
- this object is achieved in that the one connection point of the relay winding is connected to ground potential via the switching path of the semiconductor switch and to a DC supply voltage via a reverse polarized diode, in that the other connection point of the relay winding is connected to ground potential via a capacitor and via a resistor is connected to the DC supply voltage and that the DC supply voltage is significantly higher than the nominal voltage of the relay winding.
- the invention makes use of the knowledge that a relay not only responds faster when overexcited, that is, when excited with an excessive control voltage, but that the spread of the response times can also be greatly reduced.
- the relay winding is applied to such an overvoltage, the special type of circuit simultaneously ensuring that the overvoltage is dissipated very quickly, so that at the latest after the relay armature has been tightened, only a voltage is present on the winding at most corresponds to the nominal voltage or is preferably lower than this. Due to the small fluctuation in the response times, the point in time for the activation can then be determined quite precisely, which can be done with conventional semiconductor switching means.
- the dimensioning of the DC supply voltage and the circuit components naturally depends on the properties of the relay and also on how exactly the zero point control is desired.
- an embodiment has proven to be advantageous in which the DC supply voltage is twice as high as the nominal voltage of the relay winding, a fluctuation range of the response time of 2 ms being set by appropriately dimensioning the capacitor and the resistor.
- the resistance can be coordinated with the relay winding so that, for example, only a holding voltage of approximately 2/3 of the nominal voltage is applied to the relay winding after the response.
- FIG. 1 shows a load circuit with an incandescent lamp L which is connected between a phase conductor P and a neutral conductor N via a contact k.
- An AC voltage U w is present at the phase conductor P.
- the contact k is part of a relay with the winding K, which is connected between the two connection points 1 and 2.
- a diode D1 is connected in the reverse direction between a supply voltage U v and point 1, while a resistor R1 is connected between point 2 and supply voltage U v .
- the collector-emitter path of a transistor TR lies between point 1 and the ground potential, while at the other terminal of the relay winding a capacitor C1 is connected between point 2 and the ground potential.
- the relay is driven by a lamp signal ls, which is applied to the base of the transistor TR via a synchronization memory SP in the form of a D flip-flop and a series resistor R2.
- the synchronous memory SP is driven by a clock which is derived from a zero crossing sampling of the alternating voltage U w .
- the alternating voltage U w is supplied to a phase detector PD, which generates a pulse i1 at each zero crossing of the voltage.
- These pulses i1 are delayed by a certain time via a delay element VG, so that the pulses i2 emitted at the output of the delay element VG are each before the next zero crossing by the expected response time of the relay.
- the lamp signal ls present at input D of memory SP is switched through to output Q, making transistor TR conductive.
- Fig. 2 shows the voltage and current profile at the relay in one embodiment with the dimensions given in parentheses in Fig. 1. Thereafter, a DC supply voltage U v of 24 V is used for a relay K with the nominal voltage 12 V and a winding resistance of 215 ohms. Resistor R1 has a value of 390 ohms and capacitor C1 has a capacitance of 22 ⁇ F.
- time axis As a function of the respective zero crossing of the alternating voltage U w , the time of the zero crossing being denoted in each case by T0. Assuming that an AC voltage of 50 Hz is used, a zero crossing occurs every 10 ms. The specified overvoltage ensures that the relay contact closes approximately 2.5 ms to 4.5 ms after the transistor TR has become conductive; bounce times and tolerances are already included.
- the circuit with the delay element VG is thus set such that the transistor is controlled in each case 6.5 ms after a zero crossing of the AC voltage. Then the relay contact closes between 1 ms before and 1 ms after the next zero crossing.
- the excitation current I K decays to the value determined by the direct voltage U v and the resistors R1 and K and reaches approximately the response current of the relay (approx. 40 mA).
- the relay contact k closes approx. 2.5 ms to 4.5 ms after the time T s at which the transistor became conductive (6.5 ms after T0). The next zero crossing at time T0 thus coincides approximately with the closing of the contact.
- the relay contact opens approx. 2.0 ms to 3.0 ms after transistor TR is blocked (tolerances included) and thus approx. 1.5 to 0.5 ms before the next zero crossing at time T0 of the mains voltage wave. This ensures that the lamp load is in any case switched off shortly before the zero crossing, so that an arc which may still occur is extinguished in the zero crossing of the mains half-wave, ie can no longer be present.
- the inrush current of the incandescent lamp can be reduced to approximately 1/10 of the maximum by the control circuit according to the invention
- the value is reduced and the arcing is shortened to the short duration (in the example, a maximum of 1.5 ms) until the zero crossing. In this way, the contact life can be increased significantly.
