Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006058823A1] The invention relates to a method and a circuit for amplifying the input signals of an electronic overcurrent release of low-voltage circuit breakers with a selectable amplification factor, said electronic overcurrent release comprising at least one integrating condenser on the input side, and at least one pre-amplifier and a microprocessor. According to the invention, a resistance is coupled to a switch in series, parallel to an integrating condenser, and the switch is switched by means of the microprocessor in a pulsewidth-modulated manner. In this way, the effectively active resistance value of the inserted resistances is inversely increased proportionally to the pulsewidth repetition rate, thus obtaining an extremely wide regulating range.
