As a key device in modern power system, the stability and reliability of microcomputer type high frequency switching dc power supply cabinet directly affect the operation of the entire system. However, the application of high-frequency switching technology not only improves power efficiency, but also brings the problem of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electromagnetic interference not only affects the normal operation of the power cabinet itself, but also may interfere with surrounding electronic equipment and even cause system failure. Therefore, reducing electromagnetic interference and improving anti-interference ability are important topics in the design of microcomputer type high frequency switching dc power supply cabinet.
First of all, the key to reducing electromagnetic interference lies in optimizing the design of high-frequency switching circuits. High-frequency switching power supplies will produce rapid voltage and current changes when working, and these changes are the main source of electromagnetic interference. In order to suppress these interferences, soft switching technology can be used. Soft switching technology significantly reduces the voltage and current change rate during the switching process by achieving zero voltage or zero current switching when the switch tube is turned on and off, thereby reducing the generation of electromagnetic interference. In addition, reasonable design of switching frequency is also an important means to reduce electromagnetic interference. Although increasing the switching frequency can reduce the size and weight of the power supply, too high a switching frequency will increase the intensity of electromagnetic interference. Therefore, it is necessary to find a balance between efficiency and electromagnetic interference and select a suitable switching frequency.
Secondly, the application of filters is an effective means to reduce electromagnetic interference. High-frequency switching DC power cabinets usually install filters at the input and output ends to suppress conducted interference. The input filter is mainly used to suppress the interference introduced by the power cord, while the output filter is used to suppress the influence of the interference generated by the power cabinet on the outside world. Common filters include LC filters, π-type filters, and common-mode filters. By reasonably designing the parameters of the filter, high-frequency interference signals can be effectively filtered out and the level of electromagnetic interference can be reduced. In addition, magnetic beads or capacitors can be installed at key nodes inside the power cabinet to further absorb high-frequency noise and reduce the propagation of electromagnetic interference.
Shielding technology is also an important means to improve anti-interference capabilities. The circuits and components inside the high-frequency switching DC power cabinet will generate electromagnetic radiation, which may interfere with the normal operation of other electronic equipment. In order to reduce electromagnetic radiation, a metal shielding cover can be used to wrap the high-frequency switching circuit and sensitive components to prevent electromagnetic waves from propagating outward. The material of the shielding cover is usually a metal with good conductivity, such as copper or aluminum, and it is ensured that the shielding cover is well grounded with the casing to enhance the shielding effect. In addition, the casing design of the power supply cabinet should also consider electromagnetic shielding, adopt a metal casing with good sealing, and use conductive pads at the joints to prevent electromagnetic leakage.
Grounding design also plays a vital role in reducing electromagnetic interference and improving anti-interference capabilities. A good grounding system can provide a low-impedance discharge path for high-frequency noise to prevent noise from accumulating and propagating in the circuit. High-frequency switching DC power supply cabinets usually adopt single-point grounding or multi-point grounding to ensure that all circuits and shielding layers are connected to the ground through a low-impedance path. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the length and direction of the grounding wire to avoid forming a grounding loop and introducing additional interference.
In addition to hardware design, software anti-interference technology is also an important means to improve the anti-interference ability of the power supply cabinet. Microcomputer type high frequency switching DC power supply cabinets are usually equipped with microprocessors and digital control systems, which are susceptible to electromagnetic interference. In order to improve the anti-interference ability of the system, technologies such as digital filtering, software redundancy, and error detection and correction (EDAC) can be used. Digital filtering can filter out high-frequency noise at the software level and improve the purity of the signal; software redundancy ensures that the system can still operate normally when interfered through multiple checks and backups; EDAC technology can detect and correct errors in data and improve system reliability.
In practical applications, the installation and wiring of microcomputer type high frequency switching dc power supply cabinet will also affect its electromagnetic compatibility. The power cabinet should be kept as far away from other sensitive electronic equipment as possible and avoid being placed in the same area with high-frequency interference sources (such as inverters, radio transmitters, etc.). In addition, the input and output cables of the power cabinet should be as short as possible and shielded cables should be used to reduce the radiation and conduction of electromagnetic interference.
In general, microcomputer type high frequency switching dc power supply cabinet can effectively reduce electromagnetic interference and improve anti-interference capabilities by optimizing high-frequency switching circuit design, applying filters, using shielding technology, optimizing grounding design, and applying software anti-interference technology. These measures can not only improve the stability and reliability of the power cabinet itself, but also reduce interference to surrounding electronic equipment, providing protection for the safe operation of the entire power system. With the continuous development of electromagnetic compatibility technology, future high-frequency switching DC power supply cabinets will be more intelligent and efficient, providing more reliable support for the development of modern power systems.
