其他摘要：When medium and large-capacity AC contactors are working, the AC current flowing through the contactor coil is consume some energy. Meanwhile it is producing a great electromagnetic noise, increasing the coil temperature rise and shortening the life of AC contactor. This paper analyzes the power consumption of AC contactor. According to AC contactor’s characteristics of strong magnetic to pull in and weak magnetic to hold, changing the electromagnetic system form AC operation mode to DC, using the technology of changing the duty cycle automatically, we develop and design an intelligent energy saver ASIC chip ZDLX for AC contactor. The chip fabricated in a 0.5 um mixed-signal CMOS process of Shanghua in Wuxi. The test results confirmed that output signals of the chip meet the design requirements, and the power consumption of AC contactor decline almost 90% (10% of the original) with the chip and application circuit. Therefore, ZDLX can greatly reduce the power consumption of AC contactor greatly, and has important economic and social benefit.
