LM74930-Q1: 24V batteries polarity inversion protection and battery charger

Tool/software:

Dear All,

we are finishing to design a power supply at 30V with max 13A in output, with 24V batteries as back-up.

Normally to protect the power supply again the polarity inversion of batteries is used glass fuse + diode. The main problem is the installer man can replace the fuse with different value with the risk to damage the power supply. To avoid this, we want to evaluate to replace glass fuse with electronic polarity inversion block. One chip that I checke is LM74930. If I understood well, this chip is ideal for our application...

The main problem, is where apply the power supply to charge the batteries, considering the topology of battery charger is to apply the voltage in dipendence of the status of batteries and its cherger phase, using a shuint to monitoring the current. The dc-dc step-onw used is LM5149. I think to apply the voltage, from LM5149, in the middle of B2B mosfet network and before the shunt (seeing frombatteries) using a properly separateshunt, because the currentvalue is different!

Which is your opinion, please?

Thank You and Best Regards
Federico Battaglin
