Line And Zero-Crossing Detection - FSP Technology EP 1000 Series Specification

5 Line and Zero-Crossing Detection

Please refer Figure S-4
5.1 Line Detection
The input voltage is fully rectified and generates a signal. The signal will be sent to
pin 11 of CPU through a voltage divider at R45, R45A and R40// R47. By monitoring
this rectified sinusoidal voltage, the CPU can identify if the utility is normal or
abnormal. There are two methods to evaluate if line voltage is abnormal.
5.1.1 Waveform detection:
If breakout occurs, the CPU is able to immediately detect it and transfers
to battery mode. The waveform detection has a short response time.
5.1.2 RMS value detection:
CPU calculates input RMS value every cycle. If RMS value is not in acceptable
range for 3 cycles, UPS will transfer to battery mode. Compared to waveform
detection, although it will take longer response time, the RMS value can be
accurately detected.
5.2 Zero Crossing Detection
Zero Crossing Detection is used to minimize the phase difference between
the Inverter voltage and the input line voltage while UPS is switched from battery
mode to line mode. If the phase difference is too large, it will generate excess
energy which may damage the internal passive components such as relays.
The Zero Crossing signal is generated by the following conditions:
5.2.1 The signal of Line-I/ P is full-bridge rectified waveform from line input.
The voltage of Pin 7 of IC324 drives Q14 (2222ASM) on or off.
5.2.2 The Zero Crossing signal comes from the collector of Q14 and goes
through MCU pin 27.
5.2.3 Refer to Figure W-2. The waveform of ZERO-CRO from Q14 collector and
Line-I/ P.
