Fig. 1 shows a functional diagram of an over-current protection circuit. The Supply Source is a 620 Volts DC source with a current rating of 300 Amperes. The protection circuit must blow the fuse whenever the input current to the load exceeds 250 Amperes. Answer the following: Explain carefully how current control is achieved Describe/Explain the selection criteria for the SCR and the resistor R. With the aid of a practical functional circuit diagram, explain how the Control-circuit may be designed for the stated current and voltage values.

Question

Fig. 1 shows a functional diagram of an over-current protection circuit. The Supply Source is a 620 Volts DC source with a current rating of 300 Amperes. The protection circuit must blow the fuse whenever the input current to the load exceeds 250 Amperes.

Answer the following:

  1. Explain carefully how current control is achieved

  2. Describe/Explain the selection criteria for the SCR and the resistor R.

  3. With the aid of a practical functional circuit diagram, explain how the Control-circuit may be designed for the stated current and voltage values.
