Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of inverter circuits, specifically relating to a dual-pulse and short-circuit test device for an NPC T-type three-level circuit. Background Technology

[0002] The NPC T-type three-level circuit is a multi-level inverter topology. For example... Figure 1 As shown, a T-type three-level circuit consists of two half-bridge inverter units and a neutral point (usually capacitively coupled), forming a "T"-shaped circuit topology. Each half-bridge contains two switching elements (such as IGBTs) and corresponding freewheeling diodes, while the neutral point capacitor is used for voltage support and level switching. The operating principle of the T-type three-level inverter circuit is based on the resonance principle and the capacitor charging and discharging principle. By controlling the switching states of the two half-bridges, the T-type three-level circuit can generate a five-level line voltage waveform at the load end. The coordination of the capacitor charging and discharging process and the switching states allows the output voltage to smoothly transition between three different levels, reducing the harmonic content caused by the stepped waveform in traditional two-level inverters. In existing technologies, double-pulse testing and short-circuit testing are performed on the IGBTs in the NPC T-type three-level circuit. These tests must be performed separately to obtain the required data, resulting in low testing efficiency. Furthermore, the inductor positions and short-circuit test locations need to be manually changed, making the testing process cumbersome, with low integration and low reliability.

[0049] Terminology Explanation:

[0050] NPC T-type three-level circuit: NPC (Neutral Point Clamped) is a neutral point clamping circuit; that is, an NPC circuit arranged in a T-shape.

[0051] This application proposes a double-pulse and short-circuit test method and a double-pulse and short-circuit test device for an NPC T-type three-level circuit.

[0052] Firstly, such as Figure 2 As shown, a double-pulse and short-circuit test method for an NPC T-type three-level circuit is provided. This method is used to perform a half-bus voltage double-pulse and short-circuit test on the first IGBT Q1 in the test circuit of the NPC T-type three-level circuit, and includes the following steps:

[0053] In the test circuit of the NPC T-type three-level circuit, a third selection device S3 is connected in parallel across the two ends of the third IGBT Q3 and the fourth IGBT Q4, which are connected in sequence. This device is used to select whether to perform a half-bus voltage double-pulse test or a short-circuit test on the first IGBT Q1. The third selection device S3 can be implemented in various ways, such as by an active device or a switching circuit. Whether it is an active device or a switching circuit, it can be controlled by a control circuit to make the third selection device S3 be in a conducting, short-circuited, or open state, thereby achieving the state of performing a double-pulse test, a short-circuit test, or disconnection on the first IGBT Q1.

[0054] When the third selection device S3 is set to perform a half-bus voltage double-pulse test, it simultaneously sends a double-pulse signal to the gate of the first IGBT Q1, a low-level signal to the gate of the second IGBT Q2, a low-level signal to the gate of the third IGBT Q3, and a high-level signal to the gate of the fourth IGBT Q4. At this time, the voltage applied between the gate and source of the first IGBT Q1 is the half-bus voltage, i.e., as shown below. Figure 2The voltage between the DC+ and 0 in the middle. At this time, the current flows as follows: DC+ terminal - first IGBT tube Q1 - third selection device S3 - 0 terminal. Since, at this time, the gate of the fourth IGBT tube Q4 is high, it is always on, and the freewheeling circuit is completed by using the diode in parallel with the third IGBT tube Q3, therefore, at this time, the reverse recovery parameters of the diode FRD (Fast Recover Diode) in parallel with the third IGBT tube Q3 can also be tested.

[0055] When the third selection device S3 is set to the half bus voltage short circuit test, a single pulse signal is sent to the gate of the first IGBT tube Q1, a low level signal is sent to the gate of the second IGBT tube Q2, a low level signal is sent to the gate of the third IGBT tube Q3, and a high level signal is sent to the gate of the fourth IGBT tube Q4. At this time, the connection at the third selection device S3 should use a device with strong overcurrent capacity, and cannot use a wire type device with poor current carrying capacity. At this time, the voltage is added between the DC+ terminal and the 0 terminal.

[0056] In the second aspect, as Figure 2 shown, a double pulse and short circuit test method of the NPC T-type three-level circuit is also provided, which is used for half bus voltage double pulse and short circuit test of the second IGBT tube Q2 in the test circuit of the NPC T-type three-level circuit, and includes the following steps:

[0057] The third selection device S3 is arranged in parallel between the two ends of the third IGBT tube Q3 and the fourth IGBT tube Q4 connected in sequence in the test circuit of the NPC T-type three-level circuit, which is used for selecting half bus voltage double pulse test or short circuit test of the second IGBT tube Q2; the third selection device S3 can be realized in multiple ways, for example, composed of active devices, or composed of a switching circuit; whether it is an active device or a switching circuit, it can be controlled by a control circuit, so that the third selection device S3 is in a conducting, short circuit or open state, achieving the state of double pulse test, short circuit test or disconnection of the second IGBT tube Q2.

[0058] When the third selection device S3 is set to the half bus voltage double pulse test, a low level signal is sent to the gate of the first IGBT tube Q1, a double pulse signal is sent to the gate of the second IGBT tube Q2, a high level signal is sent to the gate of the third IGBT tube Q3, and a low level signal is sent to the gate of the fourth IGBT tube Q4; at this time, the voltage between the gate and the source of the second IGBT tube Q2 is half bus voltage, that is, as Figure 2The voltage between the 0 terminal and DC- is described in the middle. At this time, the current flows as follows: 0 terminal--third selection terminal S3--second IGBT tube Q2--DC- terminal. Since the gate of the third IGBT tube Q3 is high at this time, it is always on, and the freewheeling circuit is completed by using the diode of the fourth IGBT tube Q4 in parallel, so at this time, the reverse recovery parameters of the diode FRD (Fast Recover Diode) in parallel in the fourth IGBT tube Q4 can also be tested.

[0059] When the third selection device S3 is set to the half bus voltage short circuit test, a low level signal is sent to the gate of the first IGBT tube Q1, a single pulse signal is sent to the gate of the second IGBT tube Q2, a high level signal is sent to the gate of the third IGBT tube Q3, and a low level signal is sent to the gate of the fourth IGBT tube Q4. At this time, the connection at the third selection device S3 should use a device with strong overcurrent capacity, and cannot use a wire with poor current carrying capacity. At this time, the voltage is added to: 0 terminal--DC- terminal.

[0060] In a third aspect, as Figure 3 shown, a double pulse and short circuit test method for an NPC T-type three-level circuit is also provided, which is used for half bus voltage double pulse and short circuit test of the third IGBT tube Q3 in the test circuit of the NPC T-type three-level circuit, and includes the following steps:

[0061] A first selection device S1 is arranged in parallel at the two ends of the first IGBT tube Q1 in the test circuit of the NPC T-type three-level circuit, which is used for selecting half bus voltage double pulse test or short circuit test of the third IGBT tube Q3; the first selection device S1 can be realized in multiple ways, for example, composed of active devices, or composed of switching circuits; whether it is an active device or a switching circuit, it can be controlled by a control circuit, so that the first selection device S1 is in the on, short circuit or off state, to achieve the state of double pulse test, short circuit test or disconnection of the third IGBT tube Q3.

[0062] When the first selection device S1 is set to the half bus voltage double pulse test, a low level signal is sent to the gate of the first IGBT tube Q1, a low level signal is sent to the gate of the second IGBT tube Q2, a double pulse signal is sent to the gate of the third IGBT tube Q3, and a high level signal is sent to the gate of the fourth IGBT tube Q4; at this time, the voltage between the gate and the source of the third IGBT tube Q3 is half bus voltage, that is, as Figure 3The voltage between DC+ and 0 in the middle. At this time, the current flows as follows: DC+ terminal - first selection device S1 - third IGBT tube Q3 - fourth IGBT tube Q4 - 0 terminal. At this time, the gate of the fourth IGBT tube Q4 is high, which is always on, and a pulse is applied to the third IGBT tube Q3, and the diode connected in parallel with the first IGBT tube Q1 completes the freewheeling circuit, so the reverse recovery parameters of the diode FRD (Fast Recover Diode) connected in parallel with the first IGBT tube Q1 can also be tested at this time.

[0063] When the first selection device S1 is set to half bus voltage short circuit test, a low level signal is sent to the gate of the first IGBT tube Q1, a low level signal is sent to the gate of the second IGBT tube Q2, a single pulse signal is sent to the gate of the third IGBT tube Q3, and a high level signal is sent to the gate of the fourth IGBT tube Q4. At this time, the connection at the first selection device S1 should use a device with strong overcurrent capability, and cannot use a wire with poor current carrying capacity. At this time, the voltage is applied to: DC+ terminal - 0 terminal.

[0064] In a fourth aspect, as shown in Figure 4 A double pulse and short circuit test method for an NPC T-type three-level circuit is also provided, which is used for half bus voltage double pulse and short circuit test of the fourth IGBT tube Q4 in the test circuit of the NPC T-type three-level circuit, and includes the following steps:

[0065] A second selection device S2 is connected in parallel across the second IGBT tube Q2 in the test circuit of the NPC T-type three-level circuit, which is used for selecting half bus voltage double pulse test or short circuit test of the second IGBT tube Q2; the second selection device S2 can be realized in multiple ways, for example, by active devices or switch circuits; whether it is an active device or a switch circuit, it can be controlled by a control circuit to make the second selection device S2 in a conductive, short-circuit or open state, so as to achieve the state of double pulse test, short circuit test or disconnection of the fourth IGBT tube Q4.

[0066] When the second selection device S2 is set to half bus voltage double pulse test, a low level signal is sent to the gate of the first IGBT tube Q1, a low level signal is sent to the gate of the second IGBT tube Q2, a high level signal is sent to the gate of the third IGBT tube Q3, and a double pulse signal is sent to the gate of the fourth IGBT tube Q4; at this time, the voltage between the gate and the source of the fourth IGBT tube Q4 is half bus voltage, i.e. Figure 4The voltage between the 0 terminal and the DC- terminal in the middle. At this time, the current flows as follows: 0 terminal ---- fourth IGBT tube Q4 ---- third IGBT tube Q3 ---- second selection device S2 ---- DC- terminal. Since the gate of the third IGBT tube Q3 is high at this time, it is always on, a pulse is applied to the fourth IGBT tube Q4, and the diode connected in parallel with the second IGBT tube Q2 completes the freewheeling circuit, so at this time the reverse recovery parameters of the diode FRD (Fast Recover Diode) connected in parallel with the second IGBT tube Q2 can also be tested.

[0067] When the second selection device S2 is set to half bus voltage short circuit test, a low level signal is sent to the gate of the first IGBT tube Q1, a low level signal is sent to the gate of the second IGBT tube Q2, a low level signal is sent to the gate of the third IGBT tube Q3, and a double pulse signal is sent to the gate of the fourth IGBT tube Q4. At this time, the connection at the second selection device S2 should use a device with strong overcurrent capacity, and cannot use a wire with poor current carrying capacity. At this time, the voltage is applied to: 0 terminal -- DC- terminal.

[0068] In a fifth aspect, as Figure 4 shown, a double pulse and short circuit test method for an NPC T-type three-level circuit is also provided, which is used for full bus voltage double pulse and short circuit test of the first IGBT tube Q1 in the NPC T-type three-level circuit, and includes the following steps:

[0069] A second selection device S2 is arranged in parallel at the two ends of the second IGBT tube Q2 in the test circuit of the NPC T-type three-level circuit, which is used for selecting full bus voltage double pulse test or short circuit test of the first IGBT tube Q1; the second selection device S2 can be realized in multiple ways, for example, composed of active devices, or composed of switching circuits; whether it is an active device or a switching circuit, it can be controlled by a control circuit to make the second selection device S2 be in a conduction or short circuit state, so as to achieve full bus voltage double pulse and short circuit test of the first IGBT tube Q1.

[0070] When the second selection device S2 is set to full bus voltage double pulse test, double pulse signals are simultaneously sent to the gate of the first IGBT tube Q1, low level signals are sent to the gate of the second IGBT tube Q2, low level signals are sent to the gate of the third IGBT tube Q3, and low level signals are sent to the gate of the fourth IGBT tube Q4; at this time, the current flows as follows: DC+ end--first IGBT tube Q1--second selection device S2--DC- end; obviously, the full bus voltage is applied between the gate and the source of the first IGBT tube Q1. In actual application, if "abnormal blocking" occurs, that is, the horizontal tube (the third IGBT tube Q3 and the fourth IGBT tube Q4) is turned off first, the vertical tube (here: the first IGBT tube Q1) will be directly commutated, and the voltage borne by the vertical tube (here: the first IGBT tube Q1) when it is turned off becomes the full bus voltage. It is also necessary to simulate this extreme working condition for double pulse test in the test.

[0071] When the second selection device S2 is set to full bus voltage short circuit test, a single pulse signal is sent to the gate of the first IGBT tube Q1, low level signals are sent to the gate of the second IGBT tube Q2, low level signals are sent to the gate of the third IGBT tube Q3, and low level signals are sent to the gate of the fourth IGBT tube Q4. Here, a conductor with strong overcurrent capacity should be used to connect the second selection device S2, and a wire with poor current-carrying capacity should not be used to connect the second selection device S2. At this time, the current flows as follows: DC+ end--first IGBT tube Q1--second selection device S2--DC- end; the test is to test the state of the first IGBT tube Q1 under full bus voltage short circuit.
