Objective
To realise an electronic trip unit based on a single ASIC with the following specification
- current range 200A to 200 000A
- 0.1% relative accuracy
- fully compliant with EMC, mechanical and climatic standards
- protection modes: instantaneous, short time, long time, ground fault.
To develop an ASIC that contains the analogue interface for the trip unit and includes the required functionality.
To design an analogue front end with 12 bit accuracy and low offset 50-100uV.
Actuator trip units of an electricity circuit power breaker suffer from lack of accuracy which limits their installation and exploitation. The use of electronic actuator trip units consisting of a single mixed mode ASIC would not only allow an economical implementation of the required accuracy, it would also allow additional functionality such as programmability for greater flexibility and remote monitoring of individual loads via the EMS TP0 Home Systems Communication interface.
The biggest challenge for the circuit is the design of a high sensitivity front end for equipment that switches currents of several thousands of amperes.
