[0030] Figure 1 The invention provides a DC circuit breaker closed loop on / off submodule test device, which can be used to detect the main branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker, or can also be used to detect Figure 2 The transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker is shown in FIG. Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 Two application scenarios, the DC circuit breaker closed-loop on-off submodule test equipment includes:
[0031] The test controller 1 is connected to the test circuit 4 and the communication interface DBC&VBC2;
[0032] Communication interface DBC&VBC2, connected to the test controller 1, the integrated drive 3, and the mechanical switch 52 in the DC circuit breaker;
[0033] Integrated driver 3, connected to the communication interface DBC&VBC2 and the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker;
[0034] The test circuit 4 is connected to the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker and the test controller 1 .
[0035] The DC circuit breaker it detects is referenced Figure 3, including: a full-bridge module, a mechanical switch 52, and various switching elements including IGBT transistors. During testing, the DC circuit breaker's main branch or transfer branch submodule was also connected to a low-voltage power supply 6 and a current-limiting resistor 7 connected in series. These low-voltage power supply 6 and current-limiting resistor 7 were connected in series across the DC circuit breaker's main branch or transfer branch submodule, outputting a low-voltage DC power supply signal not exceeding 100V to the module. The current-limiting resistor 7 was selected to be approximately 20Ω to limit the current.
[0036] The above units constitute a system that can be operated by the user to perform the following test steps:
[0037] In the first step, the test controller 1 receives a user command and outputs a control signal to the test circuit 4 and the communication interface DBC & VBC2 according to the command. The user command includes: a test start time signal, a test type mark, test parameters, a test progress signal, a test result signal, and a triggering emergency protection signal.
[0038] In the second step, the communication interface DBC&VBC2 outputs an opening command or a closing command to the mechanical switch 52 in the DC circuit breaker according to the control signal output by the test controller 1, and sends an opening and closing control signal to the integrated drive 3;
[0039] In the third step, the integrated driver 3 outputs a test trigger excitation signal according to the on / off control signal output by the communication interface DBC&VBC2, triggering each circuit element in the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker;
[0040] In the fourth step, the test circuit 4 receives the voltage and current signals generated by each circuit element in the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker in response to the opening command, closing command or test trigger excitation signal, and converts the voltage and current signals into detection data for output;
[0041] In the fifth step, the test controller 1 receives the data detected and output by the test circuit 4, analyzes the time of change of the voltage and current signals based on the data, and calculates the status, equivalent resistance, and equivalent capacitance of the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker to determine the status of the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker and whether the circuit components in the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker have failed. Generally, the judgment criteria can be selected as follows: if the calculated equivalent resistance of the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker is between 10 and 300 kΩ and the equivalent capacitance is between 10 and 300 μF, then the status of the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker is determined to be normal.
[0042] Wherein, the integrated drive 3 can be Figure 1 or Figure 2 The test trigger is integrated into the DC circuit breaker to be tested. It is connected to the communication interface DBC & VBC2 and the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker, and is configured to output a test trigger excitation signal based on the on / off control signal output by the communication interface DBC & VBC2, thereby triggering each circuit element in the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker.
[0043] In one implementation, the device further includes a power supply 9 connected to the integrated driver 3 . The power supply 9 has an isolation circuit and a voltage stabilization circuit, and can provide a DC voltage stable at 20V to the integrated driver 3 during the test.
[0044] To distinguish control signals from collected current and voltage data signals, the present invention can further configure the communication interface DBC & VBC2 to connect the test controller 1, the integrated driver 3, and the mechanical switch 52 in the DC circuit breaker via optical fiber. Cables are used to connect the integrated driver 3 to the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker, the integrated driver 3 to the power supply 9, the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker and the test circuit 4, and the test circuit and the test controller 1. The voltage and current data collected by the test circuit 4 via the cables includes the first current and first voltage generated by the full-bridge module in the DC circuit breaker under the DC signal. Based on this, the test controller can further calculate the capacitance and resistance values of the full-bridge module based on the first current and first voltage as a basis for determining whether it is operating normally.
[0045] In addition, to ensure safety, the test communication interface DBC&VBC is also used to perform an emergency stop operation, output an emergency stop signal, and control the cancellation of the drive to each circuit element when an abnormality occurs during the test.
[0046] because Figures 4 to 9In the signal waveforms in the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker, the waveforms are similar in the two cases when the IGBT is in the normal state and when one IGBT is normal and the other IGBT is turned on and failed. Therefore, in the above-mentioned fifth step, the test controller 1 receives the data detected and output by the test circuit 4, and determines whether the switching element in the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker meets the following conditions: when not turned on, the loop current decreases and the voltage increases; when turned on, the voltage drops to 0 and the current increases; when the switching element is turned off, the current gradually decreases to close to 0 and the voltage continues to rise. , the following test steps are further performed to determine which situation occurs: first, a Rogowski coil current test is performed on each switching element in the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker; then, when it is determined that the current obtained by the Rogowski coil current test differs by 1 / 2 from the loop current in the data detected and output by the test circuit 4, the status of the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker is determined to be normal; otherwise, it is determined that one switching element in the main branch or transfer branch submodule of the DC circuit breaker is normal and the other switching element is turned on and failed.
[0047] Because mechanical switch 52 is a mechanical switch for the DC circuit breaker's main branch and is connected in series with the main branch submodule, the test circuit can send control closing and opening commands to the mechanical switch via DBC&VBC to determine whether the switch is functioning properly and operating according to the commands. Specifically, to detect mechanical switch delay, the fifth step further includes: utilizing the test controller 1 to receive data detected and output by the test circuit 4, and obtaining the time difference between the time when the voltage at the mechanical switch 52 in the DC circuit breaker changes and the time when the communication interface DBC&VBC2 outputs the opening or closing command. This time difference corresponds to the second voltage and second current generated by the mechanical switch when performing opening and closing operations under the DC signal. The test controller compares the second voltage with a preset voltage value and / or the second current with a preset current value, and based on this time difference, determines whether the mechanical operation delay of the mechanical switch 52 meets technical specifications.
[0048] In a more specific implementation method, the present invention uses a test controller 1 to obtain a test instruction input by a user, sends a test instruction to the communication interface DBC&VBC2 according to the test instruction, and sends a start test command to the test circuit 4; the communication interface DBC&VBC2 obtains the test instruction, sends an on / off control signal to the integrated driver 3 of the submodule according to the test instruction, and receives return status information from the integrated driver 3, including on / off status, IGBT status, power supply status and communication status, etc.; the integrated driver 3 receives the control signal and sends a test trigger excitation signal to the DC circuit breaker submodule to be tested; the test circuit 4 collects the test data generated by the DC circuit breaker to be tested under the test trigger excitation signal, and sends the test data to the test controller 1, and sends the test result to the communication interface DBC&VBC2. The test result is a result of whether the test is passed by the test circuit after a comprehensive analysis of the measured voltage, current and drive return status. This method can conveniently test the full-bridge module 51, mechanical switch 52, and power supply 9 in the DC circuit breaker closed-loop opening and closing submodule test equipment; and can meet the test requirements of each stage in the engineering development and engineering application process of the DC circuit breaker.
[0049] Specifically, in one implementation, the DC circuit breaker 5 to be tested includes a full-bridge module 51, and the test controller 1 obtains the test instruction input by the user, and sends the test instruction to the communication interface DBC&VBC2 according to the test instruction; the communication interface DBC&VBC obtains the test instruction, and the test instruction includes the type of the full-bridge module 51, the test items, the test time, etc. According to the test instruction, an on / off control signal is sent to the integrated driver board 3 of the submodule; the integrated driver 3 receives the control signal, sends a 19V low-voltage signal to the main branch and transfer branch submodules of the DC circuit breaker to be tested, and detects whether the IGBT devices, drive signals and power supplies are correct, and whether the components are normal; the test circuit 4 collects the current and voltage signals generated by the full-bridge module 51 under the DC signal, and the test controller calculates the capacitance and resistance values of the full-bridge module 51 based on the test data, and detects whether the basic functions of the submodule, such as trigger monitoring, electrical path, IGBT on / off, and bypass switch, are correct. For example, the specific test circuit and parameters for the parallel IGBT on / off test are as follows: Figure 2 The low-voltage circuit is 100V and the current-limiting resistor is 20Ω. The voltage and current across the device are monitored during the test.
[0050] In a specific implementation, the calculation process can adopt a calculation method in the prior art, and determine whether the full-bridge module 51 meets the requirements based on the calculated capacitance and resistance values to obtain a test result. For example, the qualified value range of the capacitance value is 10 to 300 μF, and the qualified value range of the resistance value is 10 to 300 kΩ. When the calculated capacitance value and resistance value are within their respective qualified value ranges, the test result is normal; otherwise, the full-bridge module 51 is determined to be abnormal. It should be noted that the above ranges are for illustration only and are not intended to limit the present invention. In actual applications, the qualified value ranges for capacitance and resistance values can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0051] In practical applications, the test controller can also obtain test parameters such as maximum voltage, maximum current, and commutation time during the test, and further generate and store test waveforms based on the calculated capacitance and resistance values of the full-bridge module 51. Based on the IGBT status, the following six operating conditions can be classified: both IGBTs are normal, both IGBTs fail to turn on, IGBT fail to turn off, one IGBT normal and one IGBT fails to turn on, one IGBT normal and one IGBT fails to turn off, and one of the two IGBTs has breakdown.
[0052] Specifically, the two IGBTs are tested normally with waveforms such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when the IGBT is not turned on, the loop current begins to decrease and the voltage begins to rise by 35V. At 0.003ms, the IGBT is turned on, the voltage drops to zero, and the current rises to 5A and lasts for 3ms. At 0.006ms, the IGBT is turned off, and the current begins to decrease, approaching zero after about 20ms, while the voltage continues to rise to 100V.
[0053] If the IGBT is in abnormal switching state due to abnormal driving, fiber breakage, weak light intensity, etc., the two IGBT turn-on failure waveforms are as follows Figure 5 When both IGBTs fail to turn on, the loop current drops to zero after about 20ms and the voltage starts to rise by 100V.
[0054] If the IGBT is turned off abnormally due to abnormal driving or power supply, the test waveform is as follows: Figure 6 shown.
[0055] In addition, reference Figure 8 , one IGBT in the submodule is normal and the other IGBT fails to turn off and Figure 6 The waveforms of the two IGBT turn-off failures are consistent, so these two types are uniformly attributed to the same type of failure of the sub-module.
[0056] because Figure 7 One IGBT is normal and the other IGBT is turned on faulty. Figure 1 The neutron module's normal waveform is consistent, requiring further verification of the fault type. In this case, a separate IGBT current test is performed. During the test, the current of one IGBT is measured using a Rogowski coil. If the difference between the two currents is 1 / 2 of the loop current, the test is successful; otherwise, a fault has occurred.
[0057] By comparing the above submodule operating conditions, it can be seen that when the submodule is normal, two IGBTs of the submodule are turned on, one IGBT of the submodule is broken down, and one IGBT of the submodule is normal and the other is turned off, the fault type can be determined by testing its voltage and current waveforms.
[0058] Specifically, in one embodiment, the DC circuit breaker 5 under test further includes a mechanical switch 52. The communication interface DBC&VBC2 is used to send opening and closing commands to the mechanical switch 52. The integrated driver 3 receives the start test command and sends a DC signal of a low voltage of 19V DC to the main branch and transfer branch submodules of the DC circuit breaker 5 under test. The test circuit 4 collects the voltage and current generated by the mechanical switch 52 when performing opening and closing operations under the DC signal. The test controller 1 determines the execution status of the mechanical switch 52's commands based on the voltage and current generated by the mechanical switch 52 during the opening and closing operations. For example, when a trip command is sent to the mechanical switch 52, the voltage across the break of the mechanical switch 52 is detected. In the initial state, since the mechanical switch 52 is in the closed state, its break voltage is zero. If the voltage of the break is detected to increase to the power supply voltage, it is determined that the mechanical switch 52 has been successfully tripped. By testing the time of voltage change, the delay in the tripping action of the mechanical switch 52 can be obtained, and by receiving the reaching distance signal and the trip position status signal of the mechanical switch 52, it can be determined whether the mechanical characteristics of the mechanical switch 52 meet the technical specifications.
[0059] The DC circuit breaker closed-loop on / off submodule test equipment also includes a low-voltage power supply 6 and a current-limiting resistor 7, which are used to provide power to the full-bridge module 51 of the DC circuit breaker 5 under test. By adjusting the output voltage range of the low-voltage power supply 6, the supply voltage of the full-bridge submodule 51 is tested to determine whether the voltage is within the required technical specifications. Specifically, the output voltage of the low-voltage power supply 6 is 100V, and the resistance of the current-limiting resistor 7 is 20Ω.
[0060] Specifically, the DC circuit breaker closed-loop opening and closing submodule test equipment includes a test controller 1, which is used to receive user-selected test items and test parameters, generate the above-mentioned test instructions, and send the test instructions to the communication interface DBC&VBC2. The test instructions mainly include test start, test type, test progress, test results, emergency trigger protection, etc.
[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the DC circuit breaker closed-loop on / off submodule test equipment of the embodiment of the present invention further includes a power supply 9 to provide a power supply voltage for the integrated drive 3. The power supply 9 is a regulated power supply with an isolated 20V DC voltage.
[0062] In actual application, the DBC&VBC2 communication interface initiates an emergency stop if an anomaly occurs during testing. This anomaly refers to a dangerous condition such as a short circuit or damage in the DC circuit breaker closed-loop on / off submodule test equipment, protecting equipment and personnel. The DC circuit breaker closed-loop on / off submodule test equipment also features overvoltage and overcurrent protection, safeguarding all components of the test equipment.
[0063] The above is merely an embodiment of the present invention, and its description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that those skilled in the art can make a number of modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
