The working principle of electronic transformers Electronic transformer materials and classification

Electronic transformersIntroduction

Electronic transformer, input is AC220V, output is AC12V, power can reach 50W. It is mainly a transformer circuit developed on the basis of high-frequency electronic ballast circuit. It has stable performance, small size and high power, thus overcoming the shortcomings of traditional silicon steel sheet transformers such as large body, bulkiness and high price.

The working principle of an electronic transformer

The working principle is similar to that of a switching power supply. The diodes VD1 ~ VD4 form a rectifier bridge to transform the mains power into The high-frequency oscillation circuit composed of oscillation transformer T1 and transistors VT1 and VT2 turns the pulsating DC into high-frequency current, and then the ferrite output transformer T2 steps down the high-frequency and high-voltage pulses to obtain the required voltage and power. R1 is the current limiting resistor. Resistor R2, capacitor C1 and bidirectional trigger diode VD5 constitute the start trigger circuit. Transistors VT1 and VT2 are S13005, and their B is 15 to 20 times. High-power transistors with BUceo>=35OV such as C3093 can also be used. The trigger diode VD5 should be DB3 or VR60 with around 32V. The oscillation transformer can be made by yourself, and the audio wire is wound around the H7X10X6 magnetic ring. TIa and T1b are wound with 3 turns, and Tc is wound with 1 turn. The ferrite output transformer T2 also needs to be homemade, and the magnetic core is made of EI type ferrite with a side length of 27mm, a width of 20mm, and a thickness of 10mm. T2a is wound with 100 turns of high-strength enameled wire with a diameter of 0.45mm, and T2b is wound with 8 turns of high-strength enameled wire with a diameter of 1.25mm. The diodes VD1~VD4 are of the IN4007 type, the bidirectional trigger diodes are of the DB3 type, and the capacitors C1~C3 are polypropylene polyester polyester capacitors with a withstand voltage of 250V.

When the circuit is working, the working voltage of point A is about 12V; point B is about 25V; point C is about 105V; point D is about 10V. If the voltage does not meet the above values, or the circuit does not oscillate, you should check whether there are mis-soldering, missing soldering or weak soldering in the circuit. Then check whether VT1 and VT2 are in good condition, and whether the phases of T1a and T1b are correct. After the entire circuit is successfully installed, it can be placed in a small box made of metal material to facilitate shielding and heat dissipation, but attention must be paid to the insulation between the circuit and the casing. By changing the number of turns of the two coils T2a and b, the output high-frequency voltage can be changed.

Its characteristics are as The windings can pass large currents to reduce the influence of skin effect and leakage inductance. They are insulated by wrapping insulating paper or Mylar tape; when used as a shielding layer between windings, they are insulated by wrapping insulation or Mylar tape. The ends overlap and must be isolated. And usually use a good phase wire to ground the starting end of the shielded copper foil; when the copper foil is used as the external shield, use copper foil to wrap the wire package and the magnetic core with a layer, and solder the ends to the magnetic core. The lead can be soldered to the ground or not. Leads

where AL is the magnetic permeability, which Determined by factors such as the ui magnetic circuit length and cross-sectional area of ​​the magnetic core, N is the number of coil turns.

B: Leakage inductance LK

As the amount of magnetic leakage, its size is determined by the designed winding structure and production process, such as: whether there is a retaining wall bushing, winding integrity, There are many factors such as the density of winding, the number of layers of interlayer tape and the tightness of winding.

C: DC resistance DCR=ρL/πR2

Where ρ is the conductivity, L is the length of the copper wire, πR2 the cross-sectional area of ​​the copper wire, the length of the copper wire is determined by the number of winding turns and Winding diameter.

The voltage and leakage current are usually specified by the customer or tested according to relevant safety regulations.

Testing principle: Add high voltage between the test parts, and test whether the leakage current exceeds the requirements. When the parts to be tested fail to meet the requirements, the insulation part between the parts to be tested may be broken down.

Principles of electronic transformersClassification introduction

Self-excited oscillation working principle

The principle of the electronic transformer is similar to the working principle of the switching power supply. The diodes VD1~VD4 form a rectifier bridge to convert the mains power into DC power. The high-frequency oscillation circuit composed of the oscillation transformer T1 and transistors VT1 and VT2 converts the pulsating DC into high frequency. The current is then stepped down by the ferrite output transformer T2 to obtain the required voltage and power. R1 is the current limiting resistor. Resistor R2, capacitor C1 and bidirectional trigger diode VD5 constitute the start trigger circuit. Transistors VT1 and VT2 are S13005, and their B is 15 to 20 times. High-power transistors with BUceo>=35OV such as C3093 can also be used. The trigger diode VD5 should be DB3 or VR60 with around 32V. The oscillation transformer can be made by yourself, and the audio wire is wound around the H7X10X6 magnetic ring. TIa and T1b are wound with 3 turns, and Tc is wound with 1 turn. The ferrite output transformer T2 also needs to be homemade, and the magnetic core is made of EI type ferrite with a side length of 27mm, a width of 20mm, and a thickness of 10mm. T2a is wound with 100 turns of high-strength enameled wire with a diameter of 0.45mm, and T2b is wound with 8 turns of high-strength enameled wire with a diameter of 1.25mm. The diodes VD1~VD4 are of the IN4007 type, the bidirectional trigger diodes are of the DB3 type, and the capacitors C1~C3 are polypropylene polyester polyester capacitors with a withstand voltage of 250V.

When the circuit is working, the working voltage of point A is about 12V; point B is about 25V; point C is about 105V; point D is about 10V. If the voltage does not meet the above values, or the circuit does not oscillate, you should check whether there are mis-soldering, missing soldering or weak soldering in the circuit. Then check whether VT1 and VT2 are in good condition, and whether the phases of T1a and T1b are correct. After the entire circuit is successfully installed, it can be placed in a small box made of metal material to facilitate shielding and heat dissipation, but attention must be paid to the insulation between the circuit and the casing. By changing the number of turns of the two coils T2a and b, the output high-frequency voltage can be changed.

Principle of separately excited electronic transformer

Separately excited electronic transformer

When the power frequency is connected After the mains power is supplied, the current through Rs of the bridge rectifier, except for the starting current flowing into the IC pin VCC, most of the remaining current charges the capacitor CVCC1. When the voltage on the IC pin VCC reaches the startup threshold (11.8V), the IC starts to work. Once the IC is started, the charge pump circuit consisting of CSNUB, DCP1 and DCP2 isIC pin VCC feeds current. Bootstrap diode DB and capacitor CB power the IC’s high-side driver circuit. Zener diode DZ is used to shunt excess IC current to prevent IC damage.

The resistance of the halogen lamp filament has a positive temperature coefficient, and the “cold resistance” at room temperature is much smaller than the “hot resistance” when the lamp is working. When the lamp is started, a large surge current will be generated, which will affect the lamp life. However, IR2161 provides soft-start operation to avoid surge current. During lamp start-up, IR2161 outputs a high frequency of 125kHz. Since the primary leakage inductance of the output high-frequency transformer T1 in the system is fixed, it exhibits higher impedance at higher frequencies and the voltage on the primary winding is lower. As a result, the output voltage of the transformer is lower, the lamp current is smaller, and the protection circuit is prevented from being triggered. After about 1 second, the circuit runs at a lower frequency. During this process, the voltage on the external capacitor CSD at IC pin 3 increases from OV to 5V.

When no-load, VCSD=OV, the oscillator frequency is about 60kHz. Under maximum load, VCSD=5V, the oscillator frequency is about 30kHz. When the output is short-circuited, a large current flows through the half-bridge and is sensed by RCS. As long as the voltage on IC pin 4 (CS) exceeds the threshold level of 1V for more than 50ms, the system will shut down. If the load exceeds 50% of the maximum load, the voltage on IC pin 4 will exceed the lower threshold voltage of O5V. After 0.5S, the system will shut down. Whether it is short circuit protection or overload protection, it can be automatically reset. The IR2161 also provides an overtemperature shutdown feature. When the chip junction temperature exceeds the over-temperature limit of 135°C, the half-bridge switch will stop working to avoid MOSFET burnout.

The relationship between role and calculation in power supply technology. Power supply devices, whether DC power supply or AC power supply, use electronic transformers (soft magnetic electromagnetic components) made of soft magnetic cores. Although there are already air-core electronic transformers and piezoelectric ceramic transformers that do not use soft magnetic cores, up to now, the vast majority of electronic transformers in power supply devices still use soft magnetic cores.

Therefore, discuss the relationship between power supply technology and electronic transformers: the role of electronic transformers in power supply technology, the requirements of power supply technology for electronic transformers, the use of new soft magnetic materials and new magnetic core structures in electronic transformers. The impact of the development of power supply technology will definitely arouse the interest of friends in the power supply industry and soft magnetic materials industry. Baidu Encyclopedia puts forward some opinions in order to promote dialogue, mutual exchange and common development between the power supply industry, the electronic transformer industry and the soft magnetic material industry on issues related to electronic transformers and soft magnetic materials.

2. Requirements of power supply technology for electronic transformers

The requirements of power supply technology for electronic transformers, like all commercial products, are to complete specific functions under specific conditions of use. Pursue the best performance-price ratio. Sometimes it may focus on price and cost, and sometimes it may focus on efficiency and performance. Now, light, thin, short and small have become the development direction of electronic transformers.It emphasizes cost reduction. Starting from the general requirements, four specific requirements can be drawn for electronic transformers: conditions of use, completion of functions, improvement of efficiency, and reduction of costs.

2. Conditions of use The conditions for use of electronic transformers include two aspects:

Reliability and electromagnetic compatibility. In the past, only reliability was paid attention to, but now due to the increased awareness of environmental protection, electromagnetic compatibility must be paid attention to. Reliability means that under specific conditions of use, the electronic transformer can work normally until its service life. Among general usage conditions, the greatest impact on electronic transformers is ambient temperature. The parameter that determines the strength of the electronic transformer affected by temperature is the Curie point of the soft magnetic material. Soft magnetic materials have a high Curie point and are less affected by temperature; soft magnetic materials have a low Curie point and are sensitive to temperature changes and are greatly affected by temperature.

For example: the Curie point of manganese-zinc ferrite is only 215℃, which is relatively low. The magnetic flux density, magnetic permeability and loss all change with temperature. In addition to the normal temperature of 25℃, Various parameter data at 60℃, 80℃ and 100℃ are given. Therefore, the operating temperature of manganese-zinc ferrite cores is generally limited to below 100°C, that is, when the ambient temperature is 40°C, the temperature rise must be lower than 60°C. The Curie point of cobalt-based amorphous alloy is 205°C, which is also low, and the use temperature is also limited to below 100°C. The Curie point of iron-based amorphous alloy is 370°C and can be used below 150°C to 180°C. The Curie point of high magnetic permeability permalloy is 460°C to 480°C and can be used below 200°C to 250°C. The Curie point of microcrystalline and nanocrystalline alloy is 600°C, and the Curie point of oriented silicon steel is 730°C, and can be used at 300°C to 400°C. (Electromagnetic compatibility means that an electronic transformer neither produces electromagnetic interference to the outside world, but can withstand electromagnetic interference from the outside world. Electromagnetic interference includes: audible audio noise and inaudible high-frequency noise. The main reason why electronic transformers produce electromagnetic interference It is the magnetostriction of the magnetic core. Soft magnetic materials with large magnetostrictive coefficients produce large electromagnetic interference.) The magnetostrictive coefficient of iron-based amorphous alloys is usually the maximum (27~30)×10-6, and must be taken Measures to reduce noise suppression interference. The magnetostriction coefficient of high magnetic permeability Ni50 permalloy is 25×10-6, and the magnetostriction coefficient of manganese-zinc ferrite is 21×10-6. The above three types of soft magnetic materials are materials that are prone to electromagnetic interference, so care should be taken during application. The magnetostriction coefficient of 3% oriented silicon steel is (1~3)×10-6, and the magnetostriction coefficient of microcrystalline and nanocrystalline alloy is (0.5~2)×10-6. These two types of soft magnetic materials are materials that are relatively prone to electromagnetic interference. The magnetostriction coefficient of 6.5% silicon steel is 0.1×10-6, the magnetostriction coefficient of high-permeability Ni80 permalloy is (0.1~0.5)×10-6, and the magnetostriction coefficient of cobalt-based amorphous alloy is 0.1 ×10-6 or less. These three soft magnetic materials are materials that are less prone to electromagnetic interference. The frequency of electromagnetic interference generated by magnetostriction is generally the same as the operating frequency of electronic transformers. If there isElectromagnetic interference below or above the operating frequency is caused by other reasons.

3. Complete functions. Electronic transformers are mainly divided into two types: transformers and inductors.

The functions completed by special components are discussed separately.

The transformer has three functions: power transmission, voltage conversion, and insulation isolation;

The inductor has two functions: power transmission and ripple suppression. There are 2 ways of power transfer.

The first is the transformer transmission method, that is, the alternating voltage applied to the original winding of the transformer produces magnetic flux changes in the magnetic core, causing the secondary winding to induce voltage and add it to the load, thereby increasing the electric power. Transfer from primary side to secondary side. The size of the transmitted power is determined by the induced voltage, that is, it is determined by the magnetic flux density variable ΔB per unit time. ΔB has nothing to do with magnetic permeability, but is related to saturation magnetic flux density Bs and residual magnetic flux density Br. From the perspective of saturation magnetic flux density, the Bs of various soft magnetic materials in descending order are: iron-cobalt alloy is 2.3~2.4T, silicon steel is 1.75~2.2T, iron-based amorphous alloy is 1.25~1.75T, The iron-based microcrystalline nanocrystalline alloy is 1.1~1.5T, the iron-silicon aluminum alloy is 1.0~1.6T, the high magnetic permeability iron-nickel permalloy is 0.8~1.6T, the cobalt-based amorphous alloy is 0.5~1.4T, iron-aluminum alloy The alloy is 0.7~1.3T, the iron-nickel-based amorphous alloy is 0.4~0.7T, and the manganese-zinc ferrite is 0.3~0.7T. As core materials for electronic transformers, silicon steel and iron-based amorphous alloys are dominant, while manganese-zinc ferrite is at a disadvantage. The second method of power transmission is the inductor transmission method, that is, the electric energy input to the inductor winding causes the magnetic core to be excited, converted into magnetic energy and stored, and then converted into electrical energy through demagnetization and released to the load. The amount of transmitted power is determined by the energy storage of the inductor core, that is, it is determined by the inductance of the inductor. The inductance is not directly related to the saturation magnetic flux density, but to the magnetic permeability. High magnetic permeability means large inductance, large energy storage, and large transmission power. The magnetic permeability of various soft magnetic materials in descending order is: Ni80 permalloy is (1.2~3)×106, cobalt-based amorphous alloy is (1~1.5)×106, iron-based microcrystalline nanocrystalline alloy It is (5~8)×105, iron-based amorphous alloy is (2~5)×105, Ni50 permalloy is (1~3)×105, silicon steel is (2~9)×104, manganese zinc ferrite The size is (1~3)×104. As the core materials for inductors, Ni80 permalloy, cobalt-based amorphous alloys, and iron-based microcrystalline and nanocrystalline alloys are dominant, while silicon steel and manganese-zinc ferrite are at a disadvantage. The transmission power is also related to the number of transmissions per unit time, that is, to the operating frequency of the electronic transformer. The higher the operating frequency, the greater the power transmitted under the same size core and coil parameters. Voltage conversion is completed by the turns ratio of the primary winding and the secondary winding of the transformer. Regardless of the size of the power transfer, the voltage conversion ratio of the primary side and the secondary side is equal to the turns ratio of the primary winding and the secondary winding. Insulation isolation through the transformer primary winding and secondaryThe insulation structure of the winding is completed. The complexity of the insulation structure is related to the magnitude of the applied and converted voltage. The higher the voltage, the more complex the insulation structure is. Ripple suppression is achieved through the self-induced potential of the inductor. As long as the current through the inductor changes, the magnetic flux generated by the coil in the magnetic core will also change, causing a self-induced potential to appear at both ends of the coil of the inductor, with its direction opposite to the direction of the applied voltage, thus preventing the change of current. The changing frequency of the ripple is higher than the fundamental frequency, and the current frequency of the current ripple is greater than the fundamental frequency. Therefore, it can be more suppressed by the self-induced potential generated by the inductor. The ability of the inductor to suppress ripples depends on the size of the self-inductance potential, that is, the size of the inductance, which is related to the magnetic permeability of the magnetic core. Ni80 permalloy, cobalt-based amorphous alloy, iron-based microcrystalline nanocrystalline alloy The high magnetic permeability is an advantage, while the low magnetic permeability of silicon steel and manganese-zinc ferrite is a disadvantage.

4. Improve efficiency Improving efficiency is a common requirement for power supplies and electronic transformers.

a. Improve the efficiency of electronic transformers.

For example: When the efficiency of a 100VA power transformer is 98%, the loss is only 2W, which is not much. But with hundreds of thousands or millions of power transformers, the total loss may reach hundreds of thousands of watts or even millions of watts. In addition, many power transformers have been running for a long time, and the total annual loss is considerable, possibly reaching tens of millions of kWh. Obviously, improving the efficiency of electronic transformers can save electricity. By saving electricity, fewer power stations can be built. By building fewer power stations, we can consume less coal and oil, emit less CO2, SO2, NOx, waste gas, sewage, soot and ash, and reduce environmental pollution. It not only saves energy but also protects the environment. Therefore, increasing efficiency is a major requirement for electronic transformers.

b. Design of electronic transformer

The losses of electronic transformers include core loss (iron loss) and coil loss (copper loss). Iron loss will always exist as long as the electronic transformer is put into operation and is the main part of the loss of the electronic transformer. Therefore, selecting magnetic core materials based on iron loss is the main content of electronic transformer design, and iron loss has also become a major parameter for evaluating soft magnetic materials. Iron loss is related to the operating magnetic flux density and operating frequency of the electronic transformer core. When introducing the iron loss of soft magnetic materials, it must be explained what the operating magnetic flux density and operating frequency are.

For example: P0.5/400, represents the iron loss at an operating magnetic flux density of 0.5T and an operating frequency of 400Hz. P0.1/100k represents the iron loss at an operating magnetic flux density of 0.1T and an operating frequency of 100kHz. Soft magnetic materials include hysteresis loss, eddy current loss and residual loss. Eddy current losses are inversely proportional to the resistivity ρ of the material. The larger ρ is, the smaller the eddy current loss is. The ρ of various soft magnetic materials in descending order is: manganese-zinc ferrite is 108~109μΩ?cm, iron-nickel-based amorphous alloy is 150-180μΩ?cm, and iron-based amorphous alloy is 130~150μΩ?cm. cm, cobalt-based amorphous alloy is 120~140μΩ?cm, high magnetic permeability permalloy is 40-80μΩ?cm, iron-silicon-aluminum alloy is 40-60μΩ?cm, iron-aluminum alloy is 30-60μΩ?cm, silicon steel is 40-50μΩ?cm, iron-cobalt alloy is 20~40μΩ?cm. Therefore, the ρ of manganese-zinc ferrite is 106 to 107 times higher than that of metal soft magnetic materials. It has small eddy currents at high frequencies and has an advantage in applications. But when the operating frequency exceeds a certain value, the insulator within the magnetic particles of manganese-zinc ferrite is broken down and melted, ρ becomes quite small, and the loss quickly rises to a very high level. This operating frequency is the operating frequency of manganese-zinc ferrite. Extreme operating frequency.

Electronic transformerFunction of each part

Electronic transformer for spotlights, downlights, etc. used in general store lighting. 220v AC to DC 12v50W, there is a magnet coil with 7 terminals inside. 3 resistors, 6 diodes, 4 capacitors, 2 transistors. Their functions are:

Resistors: 1 starting resistor, 2 current limiting resistor, 3 voltage stabilizing resistor

Diodes: Four diodes are used for rectification, and the remaining two are also used. Rectifier

Capacitor: Filter

Transistor: One is a switching transistor, and the other is a starting inductor. The function and calculation formula of the inductor is L=μN*NS/l (2-108)

Among them:

L: The inductance of the transformer coil [H]

l: The average length of the magnetic circuit of the transformer core [m]

N: Number of turns of the coil

S: Cross-sectional area of ​​the magnetic circuit of the transformer core [m2]

μ: Magnetic permeability of the transformer core [H/m]

1. In the case of the same number: the inductance should be high or low, depending on the core material selected. For example, if the magnetic permeability is from 1k to 10k, the change in inductance is basically 10 times. However, you will find that due to the properties of various materials, as the magnetic permeability increases, the Curie temperature will drop sharply, or The loss will rise sharply, and there are always other parameters that are so bad that you cannot consider that the magnetic permeability cannot be blindly high, so other factors may become the main contradiction at this time and must be weighed;

2. Different turns: principles In other words, the turns ratio is guaranteed. For example, 1:2, 2:4, 4:8, and 20:40 can be chosen. Which one to choose may be based on a certain material selected. Only 4:8 may be suitable. At this number of turns, the inductor can satisfy the customer. The minimum value given can also ensure the minimum copper loss, etc. If it is less than this number of turns, the leakage inductance may be too large, and if it is more than this number of turns, the copper loss may be too severe

3. Inductance The level has nothing to do with saturation

As for the level of inductance: it may be that the level of inductance corresponds to the material, and is related to the magnetic permeability of the material to a certain extent. Generally speaking, materials with high magnetic permeability have smaller saturation magnetic induction intensity;

Saturation of the magnetic core: because the external magnetic field that magnetizes the core is too large, causing the internal magnetic moment of the material to be maximized in the same direction.
