High-frequency active power factor correction of switching power supply of large-screen color TV

Description: Improve the power factor (PF) to enhance energy conservation in electrical equipment. With advancements in electronic technology, high-frequency active power factor correction (PFC) technology has been increasingly applied across various power systems. The switching power supply of large-screen color televisions typically ranges from 200 to 300W. The conventional electric switching power supply, when coupled with a smoothing circuit, tends to generate significant harmonic currents, resulting in a low power factor, generally between 0.65 and 0.85. To enhance the electrical characteristics of large-screen color televisions, high-frequency active PFC technology has been incorporated into the design, improving the PF characteristics. This can be defined as the product of the distortion factor and the phase shift factor. In switching power supplies, the cosine value generally approaches 1, indicating minimal phase shift, yet the harmonic current remains substantial, leading to a small distortion factor. Low PF in electrical equipment can result in several issues: serious harmonic current pollution of the electrical grid, interference with other electrical devices, increased average input current necessitating larger circuit specifications and protective devices, increased power supply capacity, and heightened load on central lines, compromising safety. High-frequency active PFC employs PWM signals that adjust based on the voltage and current changes in the electrical grid. By controlling the high-frequency electronic switch, it regulates the inductance (L), improving the current waveform. The multiplier controls the PWM signal, allowing the input current to approximate a sine wave, achieving a PF greater than or equal to 0.99. Figure 1 illustrates the functional block diagram of the PFC. Typically, an uncontrolled full-bridge rectifying circuit is combined with an electrolytic capacitor smoothing circuit in large-screen color televisions directly connected to the switching power supply. Figure 2 depicts the configuration of this circuit. Resistor R2 limits the inrush current; once the filtering electrolytic capacitor is fully charged, relay K opens, breaking the connection to R2. The input voltage and current waveforms of the circuit are shown in Figure 3. It can be observed from Figure 3 that current is drawn from the electrical grid only when the line-side voltage exceeds the electrolytic capacitor voltage, resulting in a significant harmonic current composition. The calculated PF is typically low, between 0.65 and 0.85. For a switching power supply of approximately 300W in large-screen color televisions, about one-third to one-fifth of this power is reactive. By implementing active PFC technology to achieve a PF of 0.99 or higher, significant energy savings of 60 to 100W can be realized. The design incorporates a more active PFC circuit for the switching power supply in large-screen color televisions, utilizing a press-fit type circuit. The control circuit employs average current control, with the UC3854 chip, as illustrated in Figure 4. The operational principle involves generating control pulses from the UC3854 based on output voltage, output current, and load current. This controls the gas switching tube, continuously monitoring and adjusting the current in L to align with the sinusoidal voltage of the unidirectional input after commutation, maintaining proportionality. Additionally, to achieve output adjustment of the direct current voltage, a multiplier is utilized for regulation.Improve the power factor PF Use a energy-conserving important factor of electrical equipment. With the development of electric electron technology, high-frequency active power factor correction PFC Technology has already been more and more applied to various power widely. The power of switching power supply of large-screen color TV is among 200 300W, the original color electric switching power supply is adopted and commutated ordinarily with the smoothing circuit, its composition of harmonic current is large, the power is low because of the number value, it is generally 0. 65~ 0. 85. In order to improve the electrical properties of electric festival of large screen color, we adopted high-frequency active PFC technology in the design, have improved PF characteristic.

It is obvious, can also be defined as the product of distortion factor and phase shift factor. To switching power supply, cos generally approaches 1, namely phase shift is not big, but the harmonic current is serious, the distortion factor is small. The ones that use the electrical equipment PF low, apt to cause the following to endanger: Harmonic current pollute electric wire netting seriously, interfere with, spend the electrical equipment while being other; The mean value of input current is heavy, need to increase the specifications of circuit and protective device; The capacity increases to supply power, strengthen the preceding stage apparatus such as voltage transformer Quota; Have increased the load of central line greatly, has reduced safety performance.

High-frequency active PFC is PWM signal emerges according to the voltage, electric current and change that supports of the electric wire netting, ones that control the high-frequency electronic beam switch to be turned on, can play a role in regulating the inductance L. Improve the electric current waveform, utilize the multiplier to control PWM signal, can make the input current of the electric wire netting basically a sine wave, enable approach 1 Namely is greater than 0.

Generally adopt the uncontrolled rectifying circuit of the full-bridge to add the smoothing circuit of electrolytic capacitor in the Off-The-Shelf large-screen color TV directly by the switching power supply. Fig. 2 shows the form of this circuit. R2 is used to limit the current-on contact, after inputting the filtering electrolytic capacitor to fully charge, K close, it is connected that R2 is broken, the input voltage of exchange, electric current waveform of the circuit are shown in Fig.

3. Can be seen by Fig. 3, only when the amplitude of voltage on line side is higher than the voltage of electrolytic capacitor, the electric current is just taken from the electric wire netting out, therefore the current harmonics composition is very great. It is very low to calculate such corrugate, generally in 0. 65~ 0. Between 85. The input power of switching power supply of large-screen color TV, about 300W, among them 1/ 3 ~ 1/ 5 It is the reactive power, if adopt active PFC technology to make its greater than or equal to 0.
