Definitions
- the present invention relates to a preconditioner, a rectifier arranged to receive an AC voltage from a voltage supply and to rectify said AC voltage, a switch mode power supply arranged to control the current in the rectifier, and a feedback path for feedback of a preconditioner output voltage to a control block, said control block having a bandwidth equal to or greater than the voltage supply frequency.
- a preconditioner can advantageously be implemented in any electronic apparatus meeting the IEC61000-3-2 requirements, e.g. in a TN set.
- a preferred solution is to introduce a switch mode power supply (SMPS), and to arrange a suitable control of the SMPS.
- the input current to the SMPS can be sinusoidal (e.g. with the help of a Power Factor Controller), or trapezium (block shaped).
- the ripple in the output voltage is "invisible" to the control loop, and thus no attempt is made by the control loop to reduce the ripple.
- the low bandwidth leads to a very slow system characteristics, resulting in unsatisfying response to changes in the load impedance.
- the object of the invention is to provide a preconditioner with high bandwidth voltage feedback, that overcomes the above stated problem.
- the feedback path comprises a bandpass filter connected to said output voltage, and means for generating a feedback signal based on the output voltage and an output signal from said bandpass filter, which feedback signal has reduced ripple around the passband of the filter.
- the bandpass filter operates to select voltage oscillations around the passband, and this output signal is then used to form a substantially ripple free control feedback.
- the preconditioner does not waste energy in an attempt to control this ripple, which is inherently present due to the
- a preconditioner according to the invention may for example be used in LCD monitors requiring an input power larger than 75 W.
- the means for generating a feedback signal comprises a subtractor having a first input terminal connected to said output voltage, and a second input terminal connected to said bandpass filter output signal, for generating a feedback signal equal to the difference between said output voltage and said filter output signal.
- the bandpass filter is an inverting filter
- the means for generating a feedback signal comprises an adder having a first input terminal connected to said output voltage, and a second input terminal connected to said bandpass filter output signal, for generating a feedback signal equal to the sum of said output voltage and said filter output signal.
- the bandpass filter preferably has a center frequency ( ⁇ 0 ) substantially equal to twice the voltage supply frequency. This causes an efficient elimination of the ripple resulting from the AC source.
- the bandpass filter is comprised of two separate bandpass filters having different passbands, connected in parallel and their outputs summated together. This is advantageous in preconditioners distributed over large markets, including countries having different mains frequencies.
- one passband lies in the interval 90-110 Hz, and another passband lies in the interval 110-130 Hz, in order to efficiently select ripple resulting from 50 Hz or 60 Hz mains frequencies.
- the switch mode power supply can for example comprise a pulse width modulator.
- Fig 1 is block diagram of a preconditioner according to the invention.
- Fig 2 is a more detailed diagram of the preconditioner in fig 1.
- Fig 3 is a block diagram of a possible filter design according to the invention.
- Fig 4 is a diagram showing input currents and output voltages.
- the preconditioner 1 illustrated in fig 1 comprises a rectifier 2, a switch mode power supply (SMPS) 3 , including for example a Pulse Width Modulator, and a feedback path 4.
- the rectifier 2 receives an AC voltage (V A C) from a source 5, preferably the mains, and delivers a DC current (I I ) to a load 6.
- the SMPS 3 controls the current through the rectifier, decreasing the harmonic content of the current.
- the SMPS 3 receives a voltage control signal (N c ) from the feedback path 4.
- Fig 2 shows in greater detail an example of a preconditioner 1 comprising a rectifier bridge 2 with four diodes and a coil 8, and an SMPS 3 comprising a control block 7.
- the control block 7 drives a switching component 9 which is connected in series with the coil 8, and receives a measurement of the current i feed via the current sense resistor Rl .
- a feedback path 4 supplies voltage feedback to the control block 7.
- the feedback path 4 comprises a bandpass filter 10, and a subractor 11.
- the input terminal 12 of the filter 10 is connected to the output voltage N 0
- its output signal (N b ) is connected to the negative input terminal 13 of the subtractor 11.
- the positive input terminal 14 of the subtractor is connected directly to the output voltage N 0 .
- the output of the subtractor (N c ) that is provided to the control block 7 is thus equal to the output voltage N 0 minus the filter output N b .
- the bandpass filter 10 can in its most simple form have the following transfer function:
- k 0 is the maximum gain of the filter
- w 0 is the desired band pass center frequency, chosen to be double the AC input frequency (which normally is 50 or 60 Hz)
- Q is a quality factor, affecting the width of the filter (the higher Q, the more narrow the filter), and s is the complex frequency.
- the desired band pass center frequency is dependent upon the frequency in the mains, and as this frequency is different in different parts of the world, it has been advantageous to develop a filter which performs its function for mains frequencies equal to both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, i.e. elimination of ripple with a frequency of 100 Hz or 120 Hz.
- Such a filter design is illustrated in fig 3.
- the filter 10 in this case comprises two different bandpass filters 21 and 22, each with a standard bandpass design according to formula 1 above, but with different band pass center frequencies ⁇ 0j ⁇ , and ⁇ 0 ,2-
- w 0; ⁇ should be around 94 Hz and w 0;2 around 126 Hz.
- An alternative design of the control loop is to implement a phase shifting filter, and adding the filter output N b to the voltage output N 0 instead of subtracting it. In this case, when a double filter according to fig 3 is used, care has to be taken to keep the filter phase shift near 180 degrees, in order to maintain the inverting quality of the filter.
- Fig 4 is a diagram with curves representing input currents (31, 32) and output voltages (33, 34) measured with and without the feedback path according to the invention.
- the output voltage is essentially unchanged, maintaining the 100 Hz ripple.
- the advantage of the invention is apparent when regarding the input currents. Without the bandpass filter, the trapezoid shape of the input current is distorted by a ripple, clearly visible between points A and B on curve 31. With the bandpass filter, on the other hand, the input current is less distorted, leading to a much more stable input current between points A and B on curve 32.
