Safe current and safe voltage

solution (15)

Generally, the human body can feel the current value of the stimulation is about 1 mA. When the human body passes 5~20mA, the muscles will contract and twitch, so that the person cannot be separated from the wire. The product of electric shock current and time allowed by most countries is 30mA*S human body resistance Usually 1500 ohms~300000 ohms, typical value is 1000 ohms~5000 ohms, recommended value is 1500 ohms

The safe voltage value can be obtained from the reaction of the human body to the current and the resistance of the human body: the safe voltage value in our country is generally 12~50V

Withstand voltage, leakage current and safety of power EMI filter:

Pressure and safety

1. If the Cx capacitor in the filter is broken down, it is equivalent to a short circuit of the AC grid, at least causing the equipment to stop working; if the Cy capacitor is broken down,

It is equivalent to adding the voltage of the AC power grid to the casing of the equipment, which directly threatens personal safety and affects all the equipment with the metal casing as the reference ground.

Circuit or equipment safety, often lead to the burning of certain circuits or equipment.

2. Some international pressure-resistant safety standards are as follows:

Germany VDE0565.2 High Voltage Test (AC) P, N to E 1.5kV/50Hz 1 min

Switzerland SEV1055 High Voltage Test (AC) P, N to E 2*Un+1.5kV/50Hz 1 min

US UL1283 High Voltage Test (AC) P, N to E 1.0kV/60Hz 1 min

Germany VDE0565.2 High Voltage Test (DC) P to N 4.3*Un 1 min

Switzerland SEV1055 High Voltage Test (DC) P to N 4.3*Un 1 min

US UL1283 High Voltage Test (DC) P to N 1.414kV 1 minute

illustrate:

(1) The reason for using DC voltage in the P-N withstand voltage test is that the Cx capacity is large. If AC test is used, the current capacity required by the withstand voltage tester

It is very large, resulting in large volume and high cost; this problem does not exist when DC is used. But to convert the AC working voltage into the equivalent DC working voltage

For example, the maximum AC working voltage is 250V(AC)=250*2*1.414=707V(DC), so the UL1283 safety specification is

1414V(DC)=707*2.

(2) The withstand voltage test conditions in the manual of the internationally renowned filter professional factory:

Corcom Corporation (USA) P, N to E: 2250V(DC) for one minute P to N: 1450V(DC) for one minute

Schaffner (Switzerland) P, N to E: 2000V(DC) for one minute P to N: Except for

Domestic filter professional manufacturers generally refer to German VDE safety regulations or American UL safety regulations

Leakage current and safety

The common mode capacitor Cy of any typical filter circuit has one end terminated in a metal case. From the point of view of voltage division, the metal casing of the filter has

1/2 of the rated voltage, so from a safety point of view, the leakage current (leakage current) from the filter to the ground through Cy should be as small as possible.

will endanger personal safety.

The safety regulations for leakage current in some major industrial countries in the world are as follows:

solution (17)

Note: 1. The leakage current is directly proportional to the grid voltage and grid frequency. The leakage current of the 400Hz grid filter is 8 times that of the 50Hz grid (ie

Filters that meet safety regulations in power frequency power grids may not necessarily meet safety regulations in higher frequency power grids)

2. When checking the leakage current of the filter, a measurement circuit that conforms to international standards must be used (as shown in the figure below). When measuring, the metal case cannot

Grounded, must be suspended.

Test the withstand voltage between the power supply part and the ground. Test conditions: AC1500V, 60s. Test results: no breakdown and flashover. Safety protection: The operator wears insulating gloves, the workbench is laid with insulating pads, and the instrument is properly grounded. Operator's quality: carry out pre-job training, proficient in operating instruments, and can basically identify and deal with instrument failures.

Optional instruments: RK2670/71/72/74 series, program-controlled RK7100/RK9910/20 series.

Testing purposes

Make the power supply of the instrument reliably grounded, and test the withstand voltage characteristics of the product.

Testing process

1.Connect the high voltage output of the instrument to the power input terminal of the refrigerator (L.N are connected together) to the grid power part. The ground terminal (return) of the instrument is connected to the ground terminal of the refrigerator.

2. The preset alarm current is set according to the user's standard. Set the time to 60s.

3. Start the instrument, adjust the voltage to display 1.5Kv, and read the current value. During the test process, the instrument does not have an over-leakage alarm, indicating that the withstand voltage has passed. If an alarm occurs, the product is judged to be unqualified.

Precautions

After the test is completed, the power of the instrument must be turned off before the product and the test line can be taken to avoid malfunctions and safety accidents.

2. Leakage current test of household appliances-washing machine

Test conditions: On the basis of 1.06 times of the working voltage, test the leakage current value between the power supply and the protective ground of the test network. Test purpose: Whether the exposed metal parts of the casing have unsafe currents when the electrical appliance under test is working.

Safety Note: During the test, the instrument and the DUT may be charged, and it is strictly forbidden to touch it with hands to prevent electric shock and safety accidents.
