20210075314 · 2021-03-11 ·

A system for preventing magnetic saturation and for controlling and managing DC offset in a transformer cores. A magnetic flux sensor is disposed within a bore within the core transformer core. The sensor transmits a sensor output that is continuously received by a processor that is programed to continuously compare in real time the sensor output with a stored selectable maximum flux sensor output value. Responsive to the comparison of real-time sensor output value to the stored maximum value, the microprocessor either allows, during each driving voltage half-cycle, the driving voltage to continue unabated while the sensor output remains below the selectable maximum value, or triggers a gate to modify the driving voltage for the remainder of the half-cycle when the selectable maximum value is reached. The processor is also programed to process, in parallel or separately, the flux sensor output for each phase half-cycle to continuously compute a flux-second integral for each half-cycle, and to continuously compare them to each other for an instantaneous DC offset value and to add a DC voltage to the phase half-cycle that is deficient and or to subtract a DC voltage from the phase half-cycle that is contributing to the DC offset to effect minimal DC offset.

First, it is assumed that a low-side switching element is turned off. At this time a resonance current before-inversion time is counted. When a resonance current is inverted, a count value is held and the counting operation of a resonance current after-inversion time is begun. Next, a target value of the resonance current after-inversion time at which a high-side switching element is to be turned off is calculated based on a feedback signal and the counting operation of the resonance current after-inversion time is continued. When a count value reaches the target value, the counting operation of the resonance current after-inversion time is ended and the high-side switching element is turned off. After a high-side half cycle is controlled, a low-side half cycle is controlled in the same way. Responsiveness to a sudden change in load is improved by exercising control every half cycle.
