ST STEVAL-IPFC02V1 Manuale utente

Introduction

The STEVAL-IPFC02V1 2 kW interleaved PFC kit is based on the STNRGPF02 digital controller and consists of a power board,

control board and adapter board. The digital configurable ASIC can drive up to two channels in an interleaved PFC for industrial

applications.

The STNRGPF02 embedded on the control board implements mixed signal (analog/digital) average current mode control in

CCM at fixed frequency. The analog section ensures cycle-by-cycle current regulation, while digital control manages the non-

time-critical operations. You can use the eDesignSuite software available on the ST website to configure the digital controller

according to specific application requirements.

1Safety instructions

Danger:

The evaluation board uses voltage levels that can cause serious injury and even death.

Do not touch any components immediately after disconnecting the input power supply as the

charged capacitors need time to discharge.

Due to the high power density, board components and heat sinks can become very hot and cause

severe burns when touched.

This board is intended for use by skilled technical personnel who are suitably qualified and familiar with the

installation, use and maintenance of power electronic systems. The same personnel must be aware of and must

apply national accident prevention rules.

The electrical installation shall be completed in accordance with the appropriate requirements (e.g., cross-

sectional areas of conductors, fusing, and GND connections).

4. Digital control section

The STEVAL-IPFC02V1 implements mixed signal (analog/digital) control, combining the flexibility of a

programmable high end digital solution with the responsiveness and accuracy of analog componentry. The

inner current loop consists of an analog proportional-integral (PI) compensator that ensures the highest possible

bandwidth and cycle-by-cycle regulation. The outer voltage loop is performed by a digital PI controller with fast

dynamic response.

3How to use the STEVAL-IPFC02V1 evaluation board

To perform functional and efficiency testing, you need the following equipment:

• Programmable AC source with power > 2 kW

• DC electronic load or load resistor > 2 kW

• Power analyzer

• Digital oscilloscope

The STEVAL-IPFC02V1 board can be tested up to 2 kW at 230 VRMS and 1 kW at 115 VRMS, in a frequency

range between 47 and 63 Hz.

Note: Any load or passive oscilloscope probe must be isolated from the input source of the PFC.

3.1 How to connect and start the STEVAL-IPFC02P1 power board

Step 1. Insert the STEVAL-IPFC02C1 control board in connector J100 on the STEVAL-IPFC02P1 power board.

Step 2. Connect the load wires to the output terminals on J300 of the STEVAL-IPFC02P1 power board.

The actual load (electronic dc load, load resistors, inverter, etc.) must remain disconnected until the

soft startup sequence has completed.

The correct polarity is indicated on the board.

Step 3. Supply the following input voltage while no load is connected on the output:

– 90 – 265 VAC (50 or 60 Hz)

Step 4. Apply the load.

max: 2 kW at 230 VAC, 1 kW at 115 VAC

3.1.1 STEVAL-IPFC02P1 power board startup sequence

1. The appropriate AC input voltage is applied under a no load condition.

2. When the input voltage rises above 60 V, the auxiliary power supply starts and generates the auxiliary

voltages (13 VDC and 5 VDC) for the drivers and the signal conditioning circuitry.

3. Once the auxiliary voltages are nominal, the inrush current limiter phase begins by charging the output

capacitor until the DC voltage reaches the peak input voltage. The current is limited by resistor R101 until it

is shorted by the relay RL100 at the end of inrush phase.

4. After the inrush limiter phase, the soft startup procedure is activated and the output voltage rises up to 436

VDC, at which point the PFC enters burst mode to regulate the output voltage between 416 and 436 VDC.

5. The green LED D2 on the control board indicates when the sequence has finished and the PFC is ready for

the load to be connected.

6. Once you connect the load:

– the output voltage is regulated to 400 V ±2 V.

– for 185 – 265 VAC, the maximum output power is 2000 W

– for 90 – 140 VAC, the maximum output power is 1000 W

4PFC controller customization with eDesignSuite

The eDesignSuite software tool developed by STMicroelectronics helps you configure ST products for power

conversion applications. You can use it to customize the PFC controller for a specific application by entering the

main specifications for your application and generating an automatic design, or by following a guided process for

more specific designs.

5Status LEDs and fault conditions

The STEVAL-IPFC02C1 control board has the following status LEDs:

• a green LED connected to STNRGPF02 pin 15 (PFC_OK)

• a red LED connected to STNRGPF02 pin 14 (PFC_FAULT)

5.1 Normal operation

During normal operation, the green LED (D2) on the STEVAL-IPFC02C1 control board remains lit to indicate that

the PFC is operating under allowable conditions.

5.2 Fault conditions

When a fault is detected, the red LED (D1) on the STEVAL-IPFC02C1 control board lights up and the green LED

(D2) turns off. The device stops all switching activities and turns off the fan.

After a fault condition, the board must be reset by switching off the AC input voltage and discharging the output

capacitors.

Note: Warning: Do not short the output terminals to discharge the capacitors as the high discharge current may

damage the output current sensing circuitry.

The following conditions will trigger a fault protection:

• Highly distorted input voltage waveforms that inhibit frequency measurement. For example, if the mains

frequency out of the accepted range (e.g., 47-63 Hz).

• Overcurrent condition on at least one PFC channel. This protection prevents PFC inductor saturation.

• Overvoltage protection on output voltage if the output voltage exceeds 450 VDC

• Overvoltage protection on input voltage:

– for 115 VAC nominal supply: above 140 V

– for 230 VAC nominal supply: above 265 V

• Over-temperature protection when the ambient temperature of the board exceeds the threshold setting.

5.3 Wait conditions

In addition to the conditions that trigger PFC_OK and PFC_FAULT, there are other conditions that are indicated

with both LEDs are off:

• Undervoltage condition on the output when the DC bus voltage falls below 340 V.

• Undervoltage condition on input when the input rms voltage falls below 90 VAC for 115 VAC nominal (or

185 VAC for 230 VAC nominal).

• Input voltage dropout when the input voltage signal disappears for more than 25 ms.

Under these conditions, the STNRGPF02 will drive both LEDs on the control board off and will wait until the

conditions have cleared before repeating the startup sequence.
