20230050324 · 2023-02-16 ·

The present disclosure relates to an emergency lighting circuit, a control method thereof and an emergency lighting system. Normal lighting is monitored by detecting whether a charging management apparatus in the emergency lighting circuit has electric energy input. When the charging management apparatus has no electric energy input, emergency lighting may be started, and power transmitted to load lighting equipment is switched to an emergency battery apparatus through a power supply switching apparatus, which is processed by a boost inverter to provide appropriate electric energy for the load lighting equipment. A power detection apparatus detects an input-terminal power signal of the boost inverter, and regulates power of the load lighting equipment based on the input-terminal power signal. Operating power of the load lighting equipment is regulated based on the input-terminal power signal of the boost inverter. An input-terminal voltage of the boost inverter is a DC low voltage and easy to detect. Moreover, in the solution, high voltage and current are not required to be isolated for power detection, which effectively reduces detection costs and is highly reliable in power detection.
