Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for monitoring the status of a converter, in particular to a method for monitoring the status of a non-contact converter IGBT module. Background technique

[0002] A converter is a power conversion device that is widely used in new energy power generation, electric vehicles, rail transit, aerospace, and metallurgy. As the core component of the converter, the failure of the IGBT module can lead to the interruption of the operation of the entire converter system, and even cause safety accidents and major economic losses. Therefore, the operational safety and reliability issues of IGBT modules have become increasingly prominent.

[0003] Most IGBT failures in actual systems undergo a gradual development process. IGBT status monitoring technology uses various detection and analysis methods to monitor various variables that reflect the operating status of the device, and evaluates the current operating status of the device...

[0036] Example: the IGBT turn-off characteristic t of the IGBT module (FF50R12RT4) in the 380V / 10kW three-phase two-level converter before and after the fault is adopted by the inventive method sw.off =f(I off )taking the test. As the result of the experiment Figure 4 As shown, by comparing the IGBT turn-off characteristics f(I off ) can be found to change the health status of the IGBT module. The implementation process is as follows:

[0037] 1. Install a current probe at the A-phase output of the converter system. The current probe model is CP8030A with a bandwidth of 50MHz, which is used to measure the high-frequency oscillation signal in the output phase current of phase A of the converter and record the cut-off current I off . Use a thermocouple to measure the case temperature T of the IGBT module c . This patented method can monitor the state of all IGBT tubes in a certain phase bridge arm. If you need to monitor the IGBTs of other phase bridge arms, you only ne...
