Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of motor performance testing, and in particular to a frequency converter testing system and a testing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a power control device that controls an AC motor by changing the frequency of the motor's power supply. The performance changes of the VFD have a great impact on the AC motor, so it is very important to test the performance of the VFD. Currently, the VFD test uses a fixed load, which has certain limitations. The large gap between the fixed load and the variable load in the actual application scenario makes the test results of the VFD not very accurate.

[0003] To this end, a frequency converter test system and frequency converter test method are disclosed in the patent specification with publication number CN111413568A. The frequency converter test system includes: a drive motor and a load motor, the drive motor and the load motor are connected in a motor-to-motor manner; the drive motor is used to connect to a first frequency converter, the first frequency converter is used as a test frequency converter; the second frequency converter is used as a load frequency converter to connect to the load motor; a processing module is connected to the second frequency converter, used to obtain environmental information, and adjust the working state provided by the second frequency converter to the load motor based on the environmental information, and is also used to connect to the first frequency converter to obtain the working parameters of the first frequency converter. The load motor in the tow motor is used to simulate the load in the actual application scenario, so that the test of the frequency converter simulates the actual application scenario, and the obtained result is more accurate.

[0004] However, the above inverter test system and inverter test method have shortcomings. First, the motor installation method is not scientific and reasonable, and the installation space requirement is high, which limits the load variability and load range; second, the current has a great impact on the external power grid, and is not energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Therefore, it needs to be optimized and improved. Summary of the invention
