Power converter and input/output frequency conversion method

Abstract

The invention discloses a power converter and an input/output frequency conversion method. The power converter comprises a first-stage AC/AC converter, a transformer, a second-stage AC/AC converter and an LC filter, wherein the first-stage AC/AC converter rectifies three-phase alternating current from a power grid, and carries out high-frequency chopping on the rectified waveform according to theprinciple that volt-second products of all pulses are equal, thereby generating a high-frequency pulse sequence; the transformer isolates the high-frequency pulse sequence generated by the first-stage AC/AC converter and outputs to the second-stage AC/AC converter; the second-stage AC/AC converter converts the high-frequency pulse sequence output by the transformer into a pulse sequence fundamental wave frequency of which is the required output frequency; and the LC filter filters the pulse sequence output by the second-stage AC/AC converter to obtain alternating current with the required output frequency. The power converter eliminates the direct current state in the power conversion process, and can complete the input/output frequency conversion process by using two stages of converters, thereby greatly enhancing the frequency conversion efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to power supply technology, in particular to a power converter and an input / output frequency conversion method. Background technique [0002] The frequency of the mains power supply is standard 50Hz. However, in many application fields, the power frequency that needs to be used is not the 50Hz of the grid power supply, but other specific frequencies. For example, in railway applications, a power frequency of 25Hz is widely used for condition sensitivity test circuits; in aircraft station tests, the electronics used require a power frequency of 400Hz. In this way, in a specific application, it is necessary to use a power converter to convert the standard 50 Hz frequency of the power provided by the grid into an actual required frequency, that is, to perform input / output frequency conversion.

Problems solved by technology

[0009] according to figure 1 As can be seen from the above description, when the power converter in the prior art is used for input/output frequency conversion, since the power converter includes 4 AC-DC converters, it is necessary to perform mutual conversion between 4 levels of DC and AC , and each stage of conversion will lead to the loss of conversion efficiency, therefore, the conversion efficiency of the final power converter will be greatly reduced, usually less than 85%
