Voltage sag corrector using a variable duty cycle boost converter
Abstract:
A sag corrector apparatus for providing voltages temporarily (ride-through) to a load during momentary electrical disturbances in the power supply line. In one embodiment, the disclosed apparatus compensates for voltage sags by using a variable duty cycle boost converter to boost the sagged line voltage to resemble desired voltage levels during occurrence of voltage sags. The boosted voltage available to a connected load during a sag depends on a sequence of operation of various control pulses. Duty cycle of the boost converter is controlled by changing the width (duration) of the control pulses. To prevent voltage shoot-throughs from over-boosting, an energy clamp circuit is provided to dissipate excess energy. Embodiments of the sag corrector circuit can be additionally integrated with power protection functions.
