Implementing strong and weak current isolation wiring on the PCS control board is crucial for ensuring reliability. Strong current refers to high-voltage, high-current sampling or drive signals; weak current refers to low-voltage digital and analog signals. Isolation methods include:
1. Physical separation: On the PCB layout, clearly separate strong and weak current areas using copper-free isolation strips or trenches, prohibiting weak current wires from crossing strong current areas.
2. Ground plane segmentation: Separate strong current ground (e.g., drive power ground) and weak current ground (e.g., MCU ground) using ferrite beads or single-point connections.
3. Use of isolation devices: Use optocouplers, isolated operational amplifiers, or digital isolators for electrical isolation where strong and weak current signals must interact.
4. Shielding and filtering: Use shielded or twisted-pair cables for strong current sampling lines and filter them before they enter weak current areas, for example, using common-mode inductors or filter capacitors.
5. Increasing creepage distance: Ensure that the electrical clearances and creepage distances between strong and weak current traces and components meet safety regulations.
