In the overvoltage event, power supply may fail easily resulting immediate failure in protection function. It appears that the OV decision circuit is not designed to work under OV condition. When OV protection triggers its own power supply, the entire OV function will completely fail.

wherein the transistor will continue to conduct current across the drain terminal to a source terminal until a source voltage of the transistor is higher or equal to a sum value of a gate voltage deducted by a threshold value of the transistor.
As an inrush current may damage the field-effect transistor, a soft-start circuit is deployed. An electrolytic capacitor is added across the transistor's gate and source to form a gate charging circuit. This circuit allows a switching mode power supply DC Bus to be slowly charged up via output connecting points. A gate charging effect will cause the transistor to become a variable resistor where its resistance to drop from Mega Ohm to several Ohm limiting the current flowing through it. (i.e. connecting point 103 to 107 as shown in Fig.1) A second zener diode is placed across the electrolytic capacitor for preventing the transistor's gate from damage by an overvoltage.
A first electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter is placed across the power input supply and a second EMI filter is place across the second zener diode for minimizing fault triggering on the transistor.

Fig. 1 shows a circuit diagram of an overvoltage protection module according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Description of the Invention
Fig. 1 shows an exemplary circuit diagram of an overvoltage protection (OVP) module. The OVP circuit is connected to a power input supply via a first connecting point (101) and a second connecting point (102). The first connecting point is connected to a positive terminal and the second connecting point is connected to a negative terminal of the power input supply. A first electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter (C02) is placed across the power input supply connecting the first and second connecting points (101,102) for minimizing fault triggering on a transistor. According to the present invention, the OVP circuit comprises a resistor (R02), a field-effect transistor (FET) (Q01) and a zener diode (TVS1). The interconnection between these components may provide a fast response voltage regulator model where voltage can be regulated by changing the zener diode voltage. The zener diode and transistor are able to react much faster than any microcontroller unit (MCU)/integrated circuit (IC) design. The OVP circuit further comprises power output connecting points (201, 202) which form a direct current (DC) output voltage bus. The output voltage will never be higher than the breakdown voltage of the zener diode. The breakdown voltage of a diode is the minimum reverse voltage to make the diode conduct in reverse.
The resistor (R02) is placed across the drain terminal and gate terminal of to the transistor wherein the first leg of the resistor (R02) is connected to a third connecting point (103) which is in connection to the first input point (101) and a drain terminal of the transistor (QOl) and the second leg of the resistor (R02) is connected a fourth connecting point (104) which is in connection with a gate terminal of the transistor (QOl) at the fifth connecting point (105). The resistor (R02) provides a resistance to the flow of the electric current in which it will switch the transistor on (QOl) gradually when the input voltage is higher that the threshold voltage of the transistor. The value of the resistor (R02) will be affecting the soft- start time and controls current flow through connecting point 103 to 107. However, the threshold voltage is not affected by the value of the resistor. The value of the resistor R02 is specially chosen so that the transistor QOl operates in safe operating region (SO A).
The transistor (QOl) acts as a switch for controlling the main current and regulating the voltage in the circuit. The transistor includes but is not limited to MOSFET, BJT or IGBT. As shown in Fig. 1 a N-channel FET is used in the circuit in which the transistor (QOl) is turned off on a threshold voltage. The threshold voltage is the minimum gate-to-source voltage that is needed to create a conducting path between the source and drain terminals.
When a sudden input voltage is higher than a zener diode threshold voltage, Vth TVS (TVS voltage on threshold), potential or gate voltage at the connecting point (105), Vg will be clamped to Vth TVS, and the transistor (QOl) will continue to conduct current across the connecting points 103 and 107 until the connecting point (107) potential or source voltage be in the following condition Vs >= Vg - Vth mosfet (where Vth mosfet is MOSFET voltage on threshold)
For example, as shown in Fig. 1, an output voltage is regulated to 440V from an overvoltage higher than 450V at the input.

The zener diode (TVS1) is connected in such arrangement is for controlling gate voltage connecting point (105) so that source voltage connecting point (107), Vs will never higher than the following condition Vs >= Vg - Vth mosfet.
A soft-start effect is deployed on the OVP circuit to allow the switching mode power supply DC Bus to be slowly charged up via output connecting points (201,202). An electrolytic capacitor (E01) is added across the gate terminal and source terminal of the transistor (Q01) in which together with the resistor (R02) forming a gate charging circuit (E01 and R02). The electrolytic capacitor (E01) draws an amount of current limited by the resistor (R02). When the DC bus voltage reaches a normal condition, the transistor will be shutdown.
A second zener diode (ZN01) is added across the electrolytic capacitor (E01) for preventing overvoltage from damaging the gate of the transistor (Q01). Although the transistor (Q01) is able to operate at a higher voltage, for example at a voltage above 800V, it is still subject to electrical stress. It is therefore a protection by employing the second zener diode is preferable.
As shown in Fig. 1, the electrolytic capacitor having its negative terminal connected to a seventh connecting point (7) which is in connection to the source terminal of the transistor (Q01) and to an eighth connecting point (108) which in connection to the anode of the second zener diode (ZN01). The cathode of the second zener diode (ZN01) is connected to a ninth connecting point (109) which is in connection to a tenth connecting point (1 10) in which the positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor (E01) is connected to. The tenth connecting point is connected to the fifth connecting point (105). A second electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter (C01) is added across the second zener diode (ZN01) for minimizing fault triggering on the transistor (Q01). The second EMI filter has a terminal connected to an eleventh connecting point (1 11) which is in connection to the eighth connecting point (108) and the other terminal connected to a twelfth connecting point (12) which is in connection to the ninth connecting point (109). The eleventh (1 1 1) and twelfth (1 12) connecting points are connected to the power output or the DC BUS via a first (201) and second (202) output connecting points respectively.
The gate charging resistor-capacitor network effect added in voltage waveform will cause the transistor (QOl) to become a variable resistor, where its resistance may drop from few Mega Ohm to several Ohm to limit the current flowing through the connecting point 103 to 107 that automatically protects the transistor from an inrush current.
