Електричний захист електросамоката: запобіжники, варистори, ESD

25.05.2026 Scootify 14 хв читання

У статтях «Інженерія батареї: літій-іонна хімія, BMS і thermal runaway», «Інженерія мотора й контролера» і «Інженерія конекторів і кабельної мережі» ми обговорювали окремі вузли silnoprądowej частини електросамоката. Кожен з них захищений окремим protection layer — BMS MOSFET-and має своїй over-current cutoff, motor controller — свою DESAT detection на gate driver, кабельна мережа — fuses на conductors. Cross-cutting axis: ці захисти не існують ізольовано — вони формують multi-layer protection chain з ієрархією selectivity (нижчий рівень захисту спрацьовує перш ніж вищий), і ця архітектура має власні фізичні принципи, стандарти, тестування і failure modes, які не покриваються жодною з 38 існуючих engineering-axes цього сайту як окрема дисципліна.

Стаття «Інженерія функціональної безпеки» §6 розглядає FMEA на рівні system hazard analysis, а «Інженерія EMC/EMI» §3 коротко згадує transient immunity. Жодна стаття не розглядає фізику pre-arcing I²t запобіжника, non-linear V-I криву MOV-варистора, HBM/MM/CDM моделі ESD згідно IEC 61000-4-2, selectivity coordination між main fuse / contactor / BMS / controller MOSFETs, або breaking capacity як критичний параметр, окремий від rated current. Цей deep-dive заповнює gap і додає 39-у engineering-axis після «Інженерія обробки поверхні» (2026-05-25).

Передумова — розуміння [BMS architecture] (§5 батарейної статті), DC-circuit basics і MOSFET switching з motor-and-controller-engineering §6.

1. Чому electrical protection — окрема інженерна дисципліна

Початківець бачить «запобіжник 30 А» як одну цифру. Інженер бачить:

Rated current (I_N, ампер) — RMS струм, який запобіжник тримає нескінченно довго при ambient 23 °C.
Rated voltage (V_N, вольт) — максимальна напруга, при якій post-arc plasma channel розривається стабільно (не re-strike’ить).
Breaking capacity (I_CN, ампер) — максимальний prospective short-circuit current, який запобіжник може безпечно розірвати без вибуху корпусу.
I²t pre-arcing (ампер²-секунд) — joule integral, необхідний для melting fuse-element до того, як arc починається.
I²t total clearing (ампер²-секунд) — повний joule integral до повного arc-quench (включаючи arc-burning).
Time-current characteristic (TCC, log-log крива I vs t_clear) — defining властивість timing behaviour для overload (10× I_N → 0,1-10 с) vs short-circuit (100× I_N → <1 мс).
Temperature derating curve — I_N зменшується на 0,5-1,0 % за °C при ambient >25 °C через accumulated joule heating fuse-element.
Cyclic loading endurance — fatigue limit на repeated thermal stress (наприклад, 5 000-100 000 циклів I_N→0→I_N).

E-scooter pack 60 В × 50 А має prospective short-circuit current до 10 кА (battery internal resistance ~6 мОм при healthy pack), що означає: звичайний automotive blade fuse 50 А (breaking capacity 1 кА @ 32 В DC) — вибухне при пряму short. Потрібен HRC (High Rupturing Capacity) fuse з breaking capacity ≥10 кА або dedicated DC contactor з arc-quenching architecture.

Три ортогональні engineering функції electrical protection chain:

Persona safety — обмежити exposure користувача до electric shock (<10 мА body current ≤200 мс per IEC 60479-1), arc-flash burns, або thermal runaway exhaust gases. Driven by IEC 60364 (installation), IEC 61140 (protection classes), EN 17128 Annex G PLEV functional safety.
Asset protection — обмежити пошкодження battery pack (cell-level thermal runaway propagation), motor controller MOSFETs (avalanche breakdown), wiring harness (insulation melting from I²R), і структурних елементів (frame arcing). Driven by UL 2272 (electrical system requirements), ISO 8820 (automotive fuses), AEC-Q-series (passive component qualification).
System availability — забезпечити selectivity і graceful degradation: коли accessory polyfuse спрацьовує (фара коротнула), main pack продовжує живити drivetrain. Driven by IEC 60947-2 Annex A (selectivity), вибором time-current characteristic.

Кожна з трьох функцій вимагає різного choice — і кожен trade-off coupled з cost, мехpackaging, regulatory constraints.

2. Threat taxonomy — overcurrent, overvoltage, surge, ESD, arc-fault

Electrical protection chain захищає від п’яти ортогональних threats, кожен з різним temporal profile і energy spectrum:

Threat	Magnitude	Time-scale	Energy	Detection	Protection device
Overload	1,1-5× I_N	1 с – 1 год	High (sustained)	I²t accumulated	Slow-blow fuse, MCB Type B/C, BMS
Short-circuit	10-100× I_N	<1 мс – 100 мс	High (concentrated)	Magnetic / dI/dt	Fast-blow / HRC fuse, MCB instant trip, DESAT
Overvoltage (steady)	1,1-2× V_N	sustained	Low (continuous)	Comparator	OVP (over-voltage protection) IC
Surge transient	5-20× V_N	1 мкс – 1 мс	Medium (pulse)	Wave-shape	MOV, TVS, GDT, SPD
ESD	5-30× V_N	1-100 нс	Very low (mJ)	dV/dt	TVS diode, ESD strap, ferrite bead

Кожен threat має specific фізику ініціації, specific instrumentation для testing, specific standard для acceptance.

2.1 Overload (slow overcurrent)

Користувач карабкається на 15° hill з 120 kg payload — motor draws 60 А sustained замість 30 А cruise. Battery, harness, controller всі survival 60 А на ~2 хв (transient capability), але якщо climb триває 10 хв — harness температура перевищить insulation rating (PVC: 105 °C, silicone: 150-200 °C, PTFE: 260 °C), починається insulation softening, потенційний short.

Detection: I²t accumulator у BMS firmware або motor controller (thermal model на основі ambient + measured current + cooling coefficient). Trigger threshold — function tempертури junction (T_j) MOSFET’ів, не raw current.

Protection device: PTC thermistor inline on motor phase, slow-blow cartridge fuse (IEC 60127-2 type T), або firmware-level current foldback (controller повільно obniжує current limit при detected high T_j).

2.2 Short-circuit (fast overcurrent)

Користувач rolls scooter, encounter pothole, wire chafe з frame метал — bare conductor touches frame ground. dI/dt може досягати 1 МА/с (battery internal resistance 6 мОм / inductance 1-10 мкГн). Within 100 мкс ток reaches 10 кА.

Detection: dI/dt-based sensing (Rogowski coil, magnetic trip element CBE), або dedicated short-circuit comparator у gate driver IC (DESAT detection на Vce voltage MOSFET’а).

Protection device: HRC fuse (10-200 кА breaking capacity), DC contactor з magnetic blow-out, fast-acting gate driver shutdown <2 мкс. Critically: arc must be quenched не лише розірваним current path — DC arcs sustain себе власною plasma, потрібно sand-filled chamber (HRC) або magnetic blow-out (contactor).

2.3 Overvoltage (steady)

Charger fault: SMPS feedback loop fails, output voltage rises з 67,2 В (nominal 60 В × 4,2 V/cell × 16S) до 80 В. Battery pack BMS detect’ить per-cell over-voltage і disconnects, але якщо BMS fault’нув одночасно — packing damage starts (Li plating, electrolyte decomposition exothermic).

Detection: Comparator на reference Zener або precision voltage reference; redundant у BMS + charger.

Protection device: Crowbar SCR + fuse (forcing short to blow primary fuse), OVP IC dedicated (e.g., TPS25940), hardware OR-and BMS shutdown signal.

2.4 Surge transient

Display unit на handlebar accidentally touched by user wearing dry-air-charged synthetic clothing — ESD event 6 кВ contact pulse. Або: scooter parked next до lightning strike — induced surge через charging cable 6 кВ / 3 кА (Type 2 SPD test).

Detection: Inherent (TVS, MOV — passive devices that trigger by V_clamp).

Protection device: TVS diode (fast, low energy), MOV (medium speed, medium energy), GDT (slow, high energy). Multi-stage cascade: GDT primary (kV-handling), MOV middle (J-handling), TVS final (clamping precision).

2.5 ESD

Bare contact: користувач walks on synthetic carpet, accumulates 10-25 kV body charge; touches metal grip of scooter — instant discharge 1-30 А peak через 1-100 нс. Total energy mere 1-100 мДж, але dV/dt reaches 10 кВ/нс — destroys MOSFET gate oxide unless protected.

Detection: Inherent (TVS at I/O, ESD strap on chassis, ferrite bead на signal lines).

Protection device: Bidirectional TVS diode (SMAJ, SMBJ series) на data lines, ferrite bead на power lines, copper ground plane stitching на PCB design.

3. Fuse фізика — I²t, joule integral, breaking capacity

3.1 Adiabatic melting model

Fuse element — типово вузька metallic strip (Cu, Ag, Sn-alloy) у диелектричному корпусі (skleneny IEC 60127-2 type, ceramic + sand для HRC). При проходженні current I через element resistance R_F, dissipated power P = I²·R_F нагріває element. Поки час набагато коротший за thermal time constant до навколишнього середовища (typical: 1-100 мс для cartridge, <1 мс для blade), heat не встигає dispate’итися — це adiabatic regime.

Adiabatic energy balance:

∫ I²·R_F dt = m·c_p·(T_melt − T_0) + m·L_melt

де m — маса element’а, c_p — specific heat, T_melt — melting point, L_melt — latent heat of fusion, T_0 — initial temperature.

Якщо R_F слабко залежить від temperature (Cu має TCR ~0,4 %/°C — невелика correction), можна спростити:

I²·t = (m·c_p·ΔT + m·L_melt) / R_F

Liva частина — pre-arcing I²t — фундаментальна характеристика конкретного fuse design. Joule integral з units ампер²·секунд (A²·s) — інваріантний на shape of current pulse, що дозволяє compare fuses між собою при стандартизованих test pulses.

3.2 Time-current characteristic (TCC)

Plotting time-to-clearing vs prospective current на log-log axes дає крива з трьома регіонами:

Overload region (1-10× I_N): t_clear від 10 с до 1 год. Dominant — heat dissipation до ambient балансує joule heating; element температура повільно rises до T_melt.
Short-circuit region (10-1000× I_N): t_clear від 1 мс до 100 мс. Adiabatic melting, governed by pre-arcing I²t.
Cut-off region (>1000× I_N): t_clear < 1 мс. Element melts перш ніж current reaches prospective peak — fuse limits I_peak до значно меншого peak let-through.

Type characteristics per IEC 60127-2:

Type	Code	Characteristic	Typical use-case
F	Fast	Quick-acting, low I²t	Semiconductor protection, low-side MOSFET
M	Medium	Standard	General electronics
T	Time-lag (slow-blow)	High inrush tolerance	Motor circuits, capacitor charging
TT	Super time-lag	Very high inrush	Transformers, large capacitors
FF	Super fast	Specialty	High-speed digital
G	General (older)	Standard	Legacy IEC designation

3.3 Breaking capacity (interrupting rating)

Це critical параметр, який часто confused with rated current. Breaking capacity = максимальний prospective short-circuit current, при якому fuse може безпечно complete arc-quench без:

Rupture корпусу (explosive disassembly).
Re-strike arc після nominal clearing (failed clearing).
Persistent ionization в навколишній області.

Стандартні values:

Fuse type	Typical breaking capacity	Standard
Glass cartridge IEC 60127-2	35 А (low) – 100 А (high BC)	IEC 60127-2
Ceramic-sand cartridge	1500 А @ 250 В AC	IEC 60127-2 / UL 248-14
HRC fuse (NH00-NH3)	50-200 кА @ 500-690 В AC	IEC 60269-2, DIN VDE 0636
Automotive blade ATO/ATC	1 кА @ 32 В DC	ISO 8820-3 / SAE J1284
Automotive MAXI blade	1 кА @ 32 В DC	ISO 8820-3
Class T fuse	200 кА @ 600 В AC / 170 кА @ 300 В DC	UL 248-15
Class CC fuse	200 кА @ 600 В AC	UL 248-4
Bolt-down ANL fuse	6 кА @ 32 В DC	SAE J554
Cylindrical photovoltaic gPV	30 кА @ 1000 В DC	IEC 60269-6

Engineering implication для e-scooter: 60 В × 50 А pack з prospective fault current 5-10 кА не може використовувати automotive blade fuse 50 А на main DC bus — потрібен gPV cylindrical fuse, ANL bolt-down, або dedicated HRC fuse design.

3.4 Pre-arcing vs total clearing I²t

Дві окремі metric’и:

Pre-arcing I²t — energy до того, як element melts (arc починається). Stable, repeatable.
Total clearing I²t — energy від current rise до повного arc-quench. Залежить від circuit inductance, voltage, fault current magnitude, fuse type — до 5-10× більший за pre-arcing I²t для DC circuits з large inductance.

Selectivity coordination: щоб upstream fuse F1 НЕ blow перш ніж downstream F2 cleared, потрібно:

I²t_pre-arc(F1) > I²t_total-clearing(F2) × 1,5 (safety margin)

Це називається I²t ratio селективність — typical ratio 1,6-2,0 для cartridge series, 1,5 для HRC.

4. Сімейства запобіжників — cartridge, blade, HRC, thermal

4.1 Cartridge fuses IEC 60127 / UL 248-14

5×20 мм (IEC 60127-2 sub-miniature) — найпоширеніший на electronics PCB, fuse-holder через clip або panel mount. Rated currents 0,05-20 А, rated voltage до 250 В AC / 600 В DC (high-BC ceramic).
6,3×32 мм (IEC 60127-2 miniature) — старіший, but used в industrial equipment. До 30 А.
10×38 мм (cylindrical, NF C 63-210 / DIN VDE 0636 / IEC 60269-2) — industrial PV / gG / aM, до 32 А.
14×51 мм (cylindrical, IEC 60269-2) — до 50 А.
22×58 мм (cylindrical, IEC 60269-2) — до 100 А.

Variants: F (fast), T (slow-blow), FF (very fast), TT (very slow), M (medium), G (older medium designation).

4.2 Automotive blade fuses ISO 8820 / SAE J1284

Найпоширеніший fuse type на consumer e-scooters через cost і retail availability:

Series	Physical size	Current range	Voltage	Use
APS / ATR (Mini)	10,9×8,8×3,8 мм	2-30 А	32 В DC	Tight packaging
ATO / ATC (Regular)	19,1×18,5×5,1 мм	1-40 А	32 В DC	Standard automotive
MAXI	29,7×34,3×8,8 мм	20-120 А	32 В DC	High-current accessory
MIDI / AMI	41,3×16,8×9,9 мм	30-200 А	32 В DC	Audio amplifier (Bolt-down)
ANL / Class T	80,8×24,2×17,0 мм	35-750 А	32-80 В DC	Battery main fuse
MEGA	67,7×24,5×17 мм	100-500 А	32 В DC	High-current EV/RV
JCASE	33,3×14,5×9,3 мм	20-60 А	32 В DC	Newer automotive (cartridge variant)

Limitation: ISO 8820-3 specifies rated voltage 32 В DC для ATO / ATC / MAXI — це для 12 В automotive systems with margin. Не валідно для 48 В+ e-scooter packs. Деякі manufacturers test до 58 В DC, але breaking capacity drops significantly above rated.

4.3 HRC (High Rupturing Capacity) fuses IEC 60269

NH (Niederspannungs-Hochleistungs-Sicherung) — нерозбірна ceramic body заповнена кварцовим sand’ом для arc-quenching:

Size	Current range	Body dimensions	Breaking capacity
NH000 (gG)	6-100 А	78×35×30 мм	120 кА @ 500 В AC
NH00	6-160 А	78×40×45 мм	120 кА @ 500 В AC
NH1	40-250 А	135×40×60 мм	120 кА @ 500 В AC
NH2	125-400 А	150×50×70 мм	120 кА @ 500 В AC
NH3	315-630 А	150×60×80 мм	120 кА @ 500 В AC

Application classes (IEC 60269-1):

gG / gL — general-purpose з overload + short-circuit protection (residential, commercial).
aM — motor protection (short-circuit only, не overload — separate thermal relay).
gR / aR — semiconductor protection (very fast, low I²t).
gS — semiconductor full-range.
gPV / aPV — photovoltaic (high DC voltage, 1000-1500 В DC).
gN / gD — North American.

e-scooter use: gPV variant of cylindrical 10×38 мм (rated 1000 В DC, breaking 30 кА) — optimal choice для main DC bus protection of 36-72 В packs, навіть якщо voltage rating сильно над-specified.

4.4 Thermal cutoffs (TCO) і fusible links

Thermal cutoff (TCO) per UL 60691 / IEC 60691 — one-shot temperature-activated fuse, типово в Cu / NiCr-pellet design що melts при specific T_F (typical 73 °C / 84 °C / 99 °C / 121 °C / 130 °C / 152 °C / 169 °C / 184 °C / 192 °C / 216 °C / 240 °C — стандартні стандартні temperature points).

Use на e-scooter:

Inside battery pack body — TCO 80-100 °C поряд з cells, спрацьовує при abnormal heating before thermal runaway initiates.
На motor windings — TCO 130-150 °C прикручений до stator, спрацьовує при stall current sustained.
На charger SMPS — TCO 90 °C поряд з power transistor, спрацьовує при cooling fan failure.

Fusible link — спрощений TCO у вигляді low-temperature solder joint що melts при abnormal heating. Common у legacy electrical equipment (transformers), rarely на modern e-scooters.

5. Polyfuse (PPTC) — non-linear PTC thermistor

PPTC (Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient) — resettable fuse що comprises:

Polymer matrix (cross-linked polyethylene або flouropolymer) з дисперсним carbon-black filler.
Two metal foil electrodes (Cu або Ni) на opposing surfaces.

5.1 Operating principle

При normal current I < I_hold:

Carbon particles form continuous conductive paths через polymer matrix.
Bulk resistance: 10-100 мОм.
Joule heating P = I²·R мінімальний, температура близька до ambient.

При fault current I > I_trip:

Joule heating rapidly підвищує матрицу до T_switch (~120-130 °C, glass transition temperature crystalline phase polymer’а).
Polymer expands ~10-15 % thermally — carbon-black particles separate, breaking conductive paths.
Bulk resistance jumps на 4-7 orders of magnitude: 10⁵-10⁷ Ω.
Current drops до leakage current (~1-10 мА), що sustains PTC у tripped state через self-heating.

При fault removal (потужність зовнішнього circuit’у дроп’ить):

Self-heating ceases, PTC cools.
При cooldown <80 °C carbon-black particles re-connect, conductive paths re-form.
Recovery time: 10 с – 5 хв (function of size, cool-down rate, package thermal mass).

5.2 Key parameters

Parameter	Symbol	Typical range	Definition
Hold current	I_H	0,05-12 А	Max sustained current без trip @ 23 °C
Trip current	I_T	1,5-2,5× I_H	Min current що guarantees trip @ 23 °C
Time to trip	t_trip	0,1-10 с @ I_T	Strongly current-dependent
Max voltage	V_max	6-600 В	Max system voltage rated
Max current	I_max	40-100 А	Peak prospective fault current
Power dissipation	P_D	0,5-3 Вт	Self-heating capacity tripped
Resistance	R_min / R_max	0,005-1 Ω initial	Cold resistance pre-trip
Trip cycles	—	100-10 000 +	Endurance before R drift >2×

5.3 Limitations vs traditional fuses

Slow — t_trip 0,1-10 с means PPTC не protects against short-circuit dI/dt — useless для prospective fault current 1 кА+.
Voltage-limited — typical 30-72 В DC; high-voltage PPTC є, але rare і expensive.
Resistance drift — repeated trips degrade carbon-black distribution, R_min зростає з кожним trip.
Sensitive до ambient temperature — derate I_H на ~0,8 %/°C above 23 °C.
No isolation — у tripped state still passes leakage current (1-10 мА), що не безпечно для high-voltage circuits з touch hazard.

5.4 e-scooter applications

Display module power line — PPTC 0,5-1 А protects 12 В regulated supply від internal short у display.
Headlight / taillight — PPTC 2-5 А per circuit, auto-recovery після transient short (loose wire contact).
Communication bus (CAN / UART) — bi-directional PPTC pair на data lines.
USB charging port — PPTC 1-3 А на 5 В output, auto-recovery після short від smartphone cable wear.

Critical: PPTC не replace’ить main DC bus protection. Завжди використовується як supplemental layer downstream від main HRC fuse + BMS.

6. Circuit breakers, contactors і pre-charge

6.1 Miniature circuit breakers (MCB) IEC 60898 / IEC 60934

MCB — re-settable electromechanical device з:

Thermal trip — bimetal strip яку nagrtуває joule heating при overload (1,13-1,45× I_N triggers eventually).
Magnetic trip — solenoid plunger що pulls latch при short-circuit current (multiples of I_N — see Type B/C/D below).
Arc chute — interrupting chamber з deion plates або magnetic blow-out для arc-quench.

Type characteristics (IEC 60898 + IEC 60947-2):

Type	Magnetic trip range	Application
B	3-5× I_N	Resistive loads, lighting
C	5-10× I_N	Inductive loads, motors
D	10-20× I_N	High inrush (transformers, X-ray)
K	8-12× I_N	Motor protection per IEC 60947-2
Z	2-3× I_N	Semiconductor protection

Limitation для DC: most MCB rated AC 230/400 V (current zero-crossing aids arc-quench). DC-rated MCB exists (IEC 60947-2 DC variants), but breaking capacity drops significantly: AC 6 кА → DC 1,5-3 кА на same physical device. Для high-voltage DC e-mobility (48-96 В DC) potрібен dedicated DC MCB або contactor + fuse combination.

6.2 DC contactors

Contactor — electromechanical switch designed для load-current make/break (не short-circuit interruption — це fuse’s job). Architecture:

Coil-actuated armature — DC coil 12-24 В pulls iron plunger через solenoid.
Power contacts — Ag-CdO / Ag-SnO2 / Ag-Ni alloy для long erosion life.
Arc-quench chamber — magnetic blow-out (permanent magnet creates Lorentz force on arc plasma, stretching arc into deion plates) або gas-filled chamber (vacuum, SF6 — exotic).

Specifications для main contactor 60-100 В DC × 80-300 А (typical e-scooter):

Coil voltage: 12-24 В DC.
Coil power: 4-30 Вт при continuous duty.
Make-and-break rating: 1-2 кА prospective.
Endurance: 100 000-1 000 000 mechanical cycles, 10 000-100 000 electrical cycles at rated current.

6.3 Pre-charge resistor

Проблема: motor controller DC-link capacitor 1000-10 000 мкФ розряджений до 0 В коли battery disconnected. Заряд capacitor до повного V_battery через main contactor створює inrush current:

I_inrush_peak = V_battery / R_circuit_total

де R_circuit_total — пара мОм (battery internal + contact resistance + wiring). Result: 60 В / 6 мОм = 10 кА peak inrush, що:

Зварює main contactor contacts на closure.
Vibrates contact bounce, ініціює arcing.
Може vibrate’нути MOSFET’ів through avalanche breakdown.

Solution — pre-charge resistor R_PC паралельно з main contactor (через окремий small pre-charge contactor або solid-state switch):

1. Open main contactor, close pre-charge contactor → DC-link charges через R_PC
2. Wait для V_link ≥ 0,9 × V_battery (typically 0,1-1 с, time-constant = R_PC × C_link)
3. Close main contactor → no inrush, current shifts до low-impedance path
4. Open pre-charge contactor (now zero-current crossing)

Engineering values:

R_PC = 50-500 Ω (W = V_battery² / R, рейтингований 5-50 Вт)
Pre-charge time t_PC = 3-5×τ = 3-5 × R_PC × C_link → 50-500 мс typical
Pre-charge contactor rating: small (10-30 А) since current limited by R_PC.

6.4 Anti-spark connectors

Когнітивне поточнення вище: будь-який connector mate/un-mate з sustained voltage diff на main DC bus arc’ить. XT90-S (anti-spark variant XT90), EC5 anti-spark містять інтегрований pre-charge resistor (типово 5-10 Ω) у одній з пар контактів, що robí pre-charge через user motion:

First contact: pre-charge pin → resistor → other side. DC-link charges через R_PC.
Second contact: main pins meet, low-impedance path established, current shift’иться, R_PC carries near-zero.
Disconnection: reverse process — main pins separate first while R_PC carries residual, main arcs мінімізовані.

Limitation: anti-spark connector design залежить від консистентної user motion — slow mate може overheat resistor; rapid mate може не дати достатньо pre-charge time. Engineering trade-off є; for high-current applications (>50 А) prefer dedicated contactor + pre-charge architecture.

7. TVS-діоди — clamping voltage, peak pulse power, response time

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) — silicon avalanche diode тmemized для clamping fast voltage transients:

7.1 Operating principle

Below V_R (reverse standoff voltage): high impedance, leakage <10 мкА.
At V_R: avalanche breakdown begins, voltage clamps до V_C (clamping voltage).
Above V_R, current flows: diode dissipates pulse energy as heat у silicon junction.

Key parameters:

Parameter	Symbol	Definition
Reverse standoff voltage	V_R	Max DC voltage without conduction (≤10 мкА leakage)
Breakdown voltage	V_BR	Avalanche onset (typically 1,11 × V_R)
Clamping voltage	V_C	Peak voltage at I_PPM
Peak pulse current	I_PPM	Max current at 10/1000 μs waveform
Peak pulse power	P_PPM	I_PPM × V_C at 10/1000 μs
Capacitance	C	Junction capacitance (key для high-speed data lines)
Response time	t_r	~1 пс intrinsic, package limited 1 нс

7.2 Series and selection

SMAJ series: 400 Вт peak, SMA SMD package, V_R 5-440 В.
SMBJ series: 600 Вт peak, SMB package, V_R 5-440 В.
SMCJ series: 1500 Вт peak, SMC package, V_R 5-440 В.
1.5KE series: 1500 Вт peak, DO-201 axial, V_R 6,8-540 В.
5KP series: 5000 Вт peak, DO-203 axial, V_R 6-510 В.

Selection rule of thumb:

V_R ≥ 1,15 × V_supply_max (i.e., 33 В TVS for 24 В bus з 20 % surge margin).
P_PPM ≥ surge energy / pulse width (i.e., для 8/20 μs surge wave з 600 А peak — потрібен ~1500 Вт TVS).
Response time fast enough для threat (TVS на ESD = 1 нс OK; для NEMP / lightning step-front потрібен faster).

7.3 Bidirectional vs unidirectional

Unidirectional — single-polarity (e.g., on DC power rail, protect against positive surges); reverse breakdown at V_BR.
Bidirectional — symmetric V-I curve, protects ±polarity surges. Required на data lines (USB, CAN, RS-485), AC mains (rare TVS application).

7.4 Limitations

Energy capacity limited — TVS dissipates пара джoulів максимум; для high-energy surge use MOV або GDT upstream.
Capacitance penalty — junction C 100-10 000 pF може distort high-speed signals (USB 3.0, gigabit Ethernet — потрібен low-cap TVS like ESD0P4RFW, <0,5 pF).
Leakage current — несприятливий для low-power sleep modes (зменшує deep-sleep battery life).

8. MOVs — metal-oxide varistors

MOV (Metal-Oxide Varistor) — ceramic disc формований spark plasma sintering з ZnO grains (95 %) з minority phases (Bi₂O₃, CoO, MnO, Sb₂O₃, Cr₂O₃). Grain boundaries формують double Schottky barriers з non-linear V-I:

I = K · V^α

де α (clamping exponent) = 25-50 для commercial MOVs. Це робить varistor sharp clamp — voltage almost constant над breakdown, current scaling exponentially.

8.1 Key parameters

Parameter	Symbol	Range	Definition
Max continuous operating voltage	MCOV / V_M(AC)	6-680 В AC	Sustained AC RMS voltage without degradation
Varistor voltage	V_1mA	8-820 В	Voltage при 1 мА DC leakage (calibration point)
Clamping voltage	V_C	1,5-2× V_1mA	Peak при rated I_TM
Max surge current	I_TM	100-70 000 А	8/20 μs single pulse
Energy rating	W_TM	0,1-1000 Дж	10/1000 μs absorption
Capacitance	C	100-10 000 pF	Inter-electrode (frequency-dependent)

8.2 Standard sizes

Disc diameter	Series	Max I_TM	Use
5 мм	S05K	100 А @ 8/20 μs	Low-power signal
7 мм	S07K	500 А	Audio / small AC
10 мм	S10K	2,5 кА	Consumer AC mains
14 мм	S14K	4,5 кА	Industrial controls
20 мм	S20K	10 кА	Power supply input
25 мм	S25K	15 кА	Industrial heavy duty
32 мм	S32K	30 кА	Service entrance

8.3 Degradation і end-of-life

Critical limitation: кожен MOV surge degrades ceramic. ZnO grains experience micro-cracking, leakage current зростає, MCOV effectively drops. Eventually MOV:

Soft fail — leakage current >1 мА continuous, MOV warms passively, потенційно ignites surrounding components.
Hard fail — short-circuit fault, відкриваючи upstream fuse або destroying MOV explosively (catastrophic).

Protection: most modern MOV applications include thermal fuse внутрі MOV package (е.g., Littelfuse “TMOV”, Vishay “VDRH” thermally protected series) — TCO at 105-150 °C disconnects MOV before thermal runaway. Code IEC 61643-11 Type 2 SPD requires this thermal protection.

8.4 e-scooter applications

Charger AC input: MOV across L-N, MOV across L-PE, MOV across N-PE (3-stage “Pi” arrangement за IEC 61643-11) для surge protection.
DC-side protection менш типова — TVS preferred (faster, predictable, lower capacitance), MOV reserved для true surge events (lightning-induced).
Battery charger output: rarely MOV — TVS preferred since DC-clamping precision matter.

9. ESD — IEC 61000-4-2 і HBM/MM/CDM

ESD (electrostatic discharge) — sudden разрядка static charge. Three canonical test models simulate different ESD scenarios:

9.1 Human Body Model (HBM)

Simulates: користувач charged from synthetic carpet, touches device.

Model: 100 pF capacitor (representing human body capacitance) charged до test voltage (1-25 кВ), discharged через 1,5 кΩ resistor (representing skin contact resistance) into DUT.

Test waveform:

Rise time: ~10 нс (90 % of peak в 0,7-1 нс).
Decay time: 150 нс (1/e).
Peak current: V/1500 А (i.e., 8 кВ HBM = 5,3 А peak).
Total charge: V·100 pF (i.e., 8 кВ = 0,8 мкКул).

Standards: ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001-2017 (component-level), IEC 61000-4-2 (system-level).

9.2 Machine Model (MM)

Simulates: charged piece of automated assembly equipment touches DUT.

Model: 200 pF capacitor, 0 Ω series resistance (worst-case).

Test waveform:

Rise time: <1 нс.
Peak current: 4-10× HBM at same voltage.
Total energy concentrated в first half-cycle.

Note: MM phased out в favor of CDM for component-level testing per JEDEC JEP155, since real-world failures correlate better with CDM.

9.3 Charged Device Model (CDM)

Simulates: DUT itself charges (triboelectric on conveyor), then touches grounded surface — instant discharge через its own pins.

Model: DUT-as-capacitor (typical 1-30 pF depending on IC size), discharged через ground pin до ground plane.

Test waveform:

Rise time: <250 ps.
Peak current: 10-30 А for 500 V CDM event.
Total energy small (мкДж), but dV/dt enormous — оксид MOSFET’а ламається перш ніж parasitic capacitance can absorb energy.

Standards: ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-002-2018.

9.4 IEC 61000-4-2 system-level test

Setup: ESD gun з 150 pF capacitor + 330 Ω series resistor (more realistic than HBM 1,5 кΩ for system-level).

Levels:

Level 1: 2 кВ contact / 2 кВ air.
Level 2: 4 кВ contact / 4 кВ air.
Level 3: 6 кВ contact / 8 кВ air.
Level 4: 8 кВ contact / 15 кВ air.

EN 17128 Annex G для PLEV (Personal Light Electric Vehicles) requires Level 4 (8 кВ contact / 15 кВ air).

9.5 Protection strategies

TVS on I/O pins: bidirectional TVS array (SMAJ, SP3030, USB ESD diodes) на all external connections.
Ground plane stitching: copper pour with closely spaced vias on PCB; large continuous ground reference.
Ferrite beads на power lines відразу за TVS — adds inductive impedance до high-frequency transients.
ESD strap внутрі дисплея від metal bezel до chassis ground — provides low-impedance discharge path до minimize coupling into IC.
Chassis bonding: метallic frame з’єднаний з PCB ground через short, low-inductance strap; запобігає floating potential build-up.
Air gap і creepage: IEC 60664-1 — для 8 кВ ESD potential, air gap >0,8 мм, creepage distance >1,6 мм на PCB layout.

9.6 e-scooter specific weaknesses

Plastic handlebar grips з metal core: charge buildup possible; metal grip stem must bond до chassis.
Display module через cable assembly до handlebar: long parallel run accumulates capacitance, susceptible до coupled ESD.
Throttle Hall sensor на 5 В rail: sensitive до conducted ESD propagating через signal cable. TVS array (e.g., USBLC6, SP3030) standard practice.
Charging port на frame: directly exposed contact; needs TVS на DC+, DC−, and any pilot signal pins.

10. Surge protection — IEC 61643 SPD класи

Surge — transient overvoltage from external source (lightning, switching, induction).

10.1 Surge sources

Direct lightning strike (DLP): full lightning current 5-200 кА на 10/350 μs waveform. Rare but catastrophic.
Induced lightning (LEMP — lightning electromagnetic pulse): nearby strike induces surge у wiring через mutual inductance. 1-20 кА на 8/20 μs waveform. Common.
Switching surge: inductive load switch-off (motor, transformer) generates back-EMF spike. Up to 10× nominal voltage. 1-100 А typical magnitude.
NEMP (nuclear electromagnetic pulse): hypothetical extreme case з very fast rise time (<1 нс).

10.2 IEC 61643-11 SPD classes

Class	Test waveform	I_imp	Application
Type 1	10/350 μs	12,5-100 кА per pole	LPZ 0_A → LPZ 1 boundary (direct lightning)
Type 2	8/20 μs	20-100 кА per pole	LPZ 1 → LPZ 2 boundary (induced)
Type 3	8/20 μs + 1,2/50 μs	3-10 кА	LPZ 2 → LPZ 3 boundary (end-equipment)

(LPZ = Lightning Protection Zone per IEC 62305-1.)

Coordinated installation: Type 1 на service entrance → Type 2 на distribution board → Type 3 на equipment. Each stage limits residual let-through voltage до next stage’s capability.

10.3 Components

Type 1: GDT (gas discharge tube) primary + MOV secondary, sometimes spark gap.
Type 2: MOV primary, sometimes TVS secondary.
Type 3: MOV + TVS, або dedicated TVS arrays.

10.4 e-scooter surge exposure

Direct exposure mainly через AC charger circuit:

Wall-plug charger → Type 2 / Type 3 SPD внутрі SMPS input filter (typical: MOV across L-N + L-PE, GDT N-PE).
Charger DC output до scooter battery: usually NOT specifically SPD-protected since DC voltage is controlled bus.

Storage exposure: scooter charging overnight у sарай, lightning strike поблизу induces surge через charging cable. Mitigation: MOV-protected outlet strip або whole-house Type 2 SPD; не assume charger alone provides protection.

Selectivity coordination (downstream protection trips before upstream):

Accessory PPTC (1-5 А) trips first on accessory short (within 0,5 с).
DC-DC PPTC (5 А) trips next on DC-DC bus fault (within 1 с).
BMS MOSFET protection trips next on cell or pack-level fault (within 50 мс).
Motor controller DESAT trips next on phase short (within 5 мкс).
Main HRC fuse trips last на catastrophic short (within 1 мс при 10 кА prospective).
AC fuse + SPD у charger remain dormant unless mains-side event.

Coordination ratio check:

I²t_main_HRC (pre-arc) ≈ 2400 A²·s @ 50 А gPV
I²t_DCDC_PPTC (total clearing) ≈ 50 A²·s @ 5 А PPTC
Ratio 48:1 → comfortable selectivity (>20:1 за IEC 60947-2 guideline)

Rated current ≠ breaking capacity. 50 А blade fuse не protects 50 А DC bus з 10 кА prospective fault — потрібен HRC або gPV cylindrical fuse.
I²t (joule integral) — фундаментальний invariant запобіжника, дозволяє selectivity coordination між cascaded fuses. Ratio ≥1,5-2,0 між upstream і downstream.
TCC type вибирається за inrush profile: F для semiconductor, T для motors з high inrush, M для general.
PPTC — supplemental layer, не replacement: slow (0,1-10 с), voltage-limited (~72 В DC), auto-recovery, до 10⁵ trip cycles.
DC contactor + pre-charge — обов’язкові для main DC bus 48+ В при DC-link capacitor >1 мФ. Без pre-charge inrush 10 кА зварює contactor.
TVS — fast, low-energy clamp (1 нс, ≤5000 Вт peak). MOV — slow, high-energy (50 нс, ≤1000 Дж absorbs). GDT — slowest, highest energy (>1 мкс, ≥10 кДж). Multi-stage cascade preferable.
ESD per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (8 кВ contact / 15 кВ air) — mandatory для PLEV per EN 17128 Annex G. TVS arrays + ground stitching + chassis bonding.
MOVs degrade per surge event. Plan для replacement after major surges; specify TMOV / VDRH thermally-protected variants for safety-critical apps.
