A novel chopping current protection circuit for intrinsically safe power supply

For problems that traditional chopping current protection circuit had small cut-off current value and poor anti load impact ability, and needed additional recovery circuit or manual circuit after over-current fault, a novel chopping current protection circuit for intrinsically safe power supply was designed. The circuit adopts double parallel control structure, so as to improve reliability. The circuit can chop circuit rapidly under condition of load over flowing, and put into operation fast after fault with adjusted input point. Meanwhile, the circuit has low power consumption part, so as to reduce power loss under condition of light load or no-load. The experimental results show that the circuit can recover automatically after over-current fault with low load effect and strong load capacity.
