Design of Intelligent Low-Voltage Load Switch for Remote Control System in Smart Grid

Current low-voltage load switches do not support remote disconnect/connect and real-time monitoring of a disconnect/connect state. Addressing to these issues, this paper presents a low-voltage load switch for a smart remote control system, which uses a one-chip microcontroller board and a DC step motor drive mechanism and provides the feedback on the switch status also. Arrears disconnect and full-pay connect control is implemented via the microcomputer and Hall sensor. The low-power supply and state feedback circuit are designed to reduce the power consumption. And the motor drive mechanism is optimized to improve the performance of motor. Finally, a test environment includes the system control and feedback is created to illustrate the feasibility of the designed low-voltage switch. The test results that the design supports disconnect/connect control and state feedback in various conditions validate the feasibility of this designed system, which has high practical value and is worthy of promotion.
