As is well known, inversion devices have come into widespread use in recent years for applications such as controlling electric motors and induction heating. This type of inverse converter is operated using the output of the forward converter as an input power source, but since the following problems occur in the inverse converter, the forward converter is also controlled as follows.

That is, if the inverse converter fails to commutate, the forward conversion current increases and a large current flows through the elements constituting the inverter, potentially destroying the elements. For this reason, measures are taken to reduce or stop the output of the forward conversion device when the commutation failure occurs. Conventionally, as a means of this, the current increases due to commutation failure, and this current increases by 120 to 150% of the rated value.
When this point is reached, the output of the forward conversion device is reduced or stopped. As a result,
Adding to this the control delay of the forward converter, a current of about 200 to 300% of the rated current flows through the element. For this reason, unless a device that can withstand a large current is used in advance, the device will be destroyed. Furthermore, in the case of an element that can withstand a large current, the shape of the element itself becomes larger and the element becomes more expensive, resulting in a drawback that the device becomes larger and the price rises.

In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, devices equipped with a circuit for detecting commutation failure have been developed.
This detection circuit normally detects that the voltage between the positive and negative outputs of the forward converter has reached zero level and determines commutation failure. In a device that makes such a determination, there is a period during which the output of the forward converter is at zero level (when the current is intermittent) during startup or when the output is low. In such a case, if the inverse converter determines that commutation has failed, there is a risk that the output of the forward converter will be reduced or stopped. Also,
In a device equipped with the above-mentioned detection circuit, there is a risk that the operation will become unstable if the current is interrupted during startup or low output.

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and allows the device to always operate stably even if the output (DC current) of the forward converter is temporarily interrupted, and even if a commutation failure occurs, the device can always operate stably. It is an object of the present invention to provide a protection device for an inverse converter, which can surely protect elements in order to reduce or stop the output of the converter.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. Here, a firing signal is applied to the thyristors 3a and 3d of the inverter 3 from a gate signal generation circuit (not shown) to start the device 3. As a result, current is supplied to the load 4, and the voltage V t across the load 4 becomes as shown in FIG. 2C. By starting the above device 3, the forward conversion device 1
The DC voltage Vd has a waveform as shown in Figure 2A.
As a result, a direct current I d (FIG. 2 b) is supplied to the inverter 3, but at time T 1 the direct current voltage V d
Suppose that the supply of Then, the DC current I d gradually decreases as shown in FIG. 2B, and reaches zero at time T 2 . Then, during the so-called intermittent operation of the forward converter 1, in which the DC voltage V d is again supplied to the inverter 3 at time T 3 (such operation occurs especially at startup or at low output). The above effect also appears on the AC input side of the forward converter 1. When the direct voltage V d becomes zero, the output signal of the current transformer 10 is converted by the AC-DC converter 11 and has a waveform as shown in FIG. 2E. The output signal of this AC-DC converter 11 is compared with the setting value of the setting device 13 (plus V shown in Fig. 2), which is set at a level of about 120% to 150% of the rated current, and the signal is When it is less than the set value, it becomes zero level, and when it is more than the set value, it becomes "1" level, which appears in the output of comparator 9.
(FIG. 2G) Note that even when the output of the current transformer 10 becomes zero, the output signal of the AC-DC converter 11 reaches the zero level with some time lag.

When the DC current I d becomes zero, the voltage across V PN in FIG. 1 (shown in FIG. 2 D) also becomes zero. Therefore, the output side of the photocoupler 7 becomes as shown in Figure 2 H, and the level at the time T 2 and T 3 is "1".
becomes. As a result, the output of the AND circuit 8 becomes as shown in FIG. 2, and the output level is zero, and the control circuit 15 sends out a gate signal that causes the forward conversion device 1 to continue operating without stopping.

Next, at time T 2 shown in the above figure 2 at low output
If a commutation failure occurs within the T3 period, a current ( ) as shown in Figure 3B flows. For this reason,
Since the signal d also appears at the output of the AC-DC converter 11, when this output d exceeds the set value, the signal (c) shown in FIG. 3G appears at the output of the comparator 9. As a result, the output of the AND circuit 8 becomes "1" due to the Q signal from the photo coupler 7 and the G signal, and a gate signal is sent from the control circuit 15 to stop the forward conversion device 1, as shown in FIG. T 0 period device 1

In addition, if a commutation failure occurs during so-called medium/high output when the power supply to the load 4 is relatively large, each circuit operates as shown in Fig. 4 (1) to (1). Similarly to the operation, the device 1 is stopped during the T 0 period.

As described above, at medium and high outputs, commutation failure can be reliably detected and the device 1 can be stopped, so the protection of the thyristor elements can be ensured.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the DC current of the forward converter is interrupted during low output or startup, it is determined whether commutation has failed based on the value of the AC input current. This method has advantages such as being able to continue operation without stopping the forward conversion device during low output or startup, and also being able to reliably detect commutation failure and stop the operation of the device.
