Zero-voltage-switching-circuits
This circuit is effective for lamp and heater loads. Some circuits driving reactive loads require integral cycling and zero-voltage switching when an identical number of positive and negative half-cycles of voltage are applied to the load during a power period. The circuit, although not strictly a relay because of the three-terminal power connection, performs the integral cycle zero-voltage switching function when interfaced with the previous coil circuits. Fiber optics offers advantages in power control systems. Electrical signals do not flow along the non-conducting fiber, minimizing shock hazards to both the operator and the equipment. Electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference pick up on the fiber is nonexistent; although high-gain receiver circuits might require shielding, eliminating noise pick-up errors caused by sources along the cable route. Both AC and DC power systems can be controlled by fiber optics using techniques similar to the optoisolator solid-state relay. Triac triggering is accomplished through the C106BX301, a low gate trigger current silicon-controlled rectifier, switching line voltage-derived current to the triac gate via the full-wave rectifier bridge. The primary difference between fiber optics solid-state relay circuits and optoisolator circuits is the gain; photo currents are much smaller.
This circuit is designed to manage lamp and heater loads effectively, particularly in applications involving reactive loads that necessitate integral cycling and zero-voltage switching (ZVS). The ZVS technique ensures that both positive and negative half-cycles of voltage are applied evenly to the load throughout the power period, enhancing efficiency and reducing electrical stress on the components.
The circuit's architecture is notable for its three-terminal power connection, distinguishing it from traditional relays while still facilitating the integral cycle ZVS function when integrated with preceding coil circuits. The use of fiber optics in this context provides several benefits, including a significant reduction in shock hazards, as electrical signals do not propagate through the non-conductive fiber. This characteristic is particularly advantageous for operator safety and equipment protection.
Moreover, the fiber optic system exhibits immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which are common issues in electrical systems. While high-gain receiver circuits may require additional shielding to mitigate noise pick-up from external sources along the cable route, the inherent properties of fiber optics significantly reduce the likelihood of such interference affecting the circuit's performance.
The circuit is capable of controlling both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) power systems, utilizing methodologies akin to those employed in optoisolator solid-state relays. Triac triggering in this configuration is achieved through the C106BX301, a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) characterized by its low gate trigger current. This SCR switches the line voltage-derived current to the triac gate through a full-wave rectifier bridge, ensuring reliable operation.
A critical distinction between fiber optics solid-state relay circuits and traditional optoisolator circuits lies in the gain levels; specifically, the photo currents in fiber optic applications are generally much smaller. This factor necessitates careful consideration in circuit design to ensure adequate performance without compromising on reliability or safety.
