Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power electronics technology, and in particular relates to a method for detecting DC insulation impedance. Background Technology

[0002] DC systems are used to provide DC power to loads. To ensure the continuity and reliability of power supply, DC systems are typically ungrounded. However, an abnormal grounding event in a DC system poses a safety hazard. Therefore, it is necessary to test the insulation impedance of the DC system to detect grounding faults promptly.

[0003] In existing technologies, unbalanced and balanced bridges are typically connected to switches to detect insulation impedance. However, the connection of balanced and unbalanced bridges changes the ground state of the DC system, causing fluctuations in the DC bus voltage, which in turn leads to inaccurate detection of insulation impedance.

[0008] The insulation impedance of the positive DC bus and the insulation impedance of the negative DC bus are determined based on the first positive DC bus voltage, the first negative DC bus voltage, the second positive DC bus voltage, and the second negative DC bus voltage.

[0009] This invention provides a method for detecting DC insulation resistance, applied to a DC insulation resistance detection device. The DC insulation resistance detection device includes a first unbalanced bridge, a second unbalanced bridge, and a balanced bridge.

[0018] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the invention can be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the invention with unnecessary detail.

[0019] To illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, specific embodiments are described below.

[0020] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides a method for detecting DC insulation resistance, applied to a DC insulation resistance detection device. The DC insulation resistance detection device includes a first unbalanced bridge, a second unbalanced bridge, and a balanced bridge. The first unbalanced bridge, the second unbalanced bridge, and the balanced bridge are all connected between the positive DC bus BUS+ and the negative DC bus BUS-, and the midpoint of the balanced bridge is connected to a ground wire. The method includes:

[0021] S101: Obtain the first positive DC bus voltage and the first negative DC bus voltage when the midpoint of the first unbalanced bridge is connected to the ground wire and the midpoint of the second unbalanced bridge is floating.

[0022] S102: Obtain the second positive DC bus voltage and the second negative DC bus voltage when the midpoint of the first unbalanced bridge is floating and the midpoint of the second unbalanced bridge is connected to the ground wire;

[0023] S103: Determine the insulation resistance of the positive DC bus BUS+ and the insulation resistance of the negative DC bus BUS- based on the first positive DC bus voltage, the first negative DC bus voltage, the second positive DC bus voltage, and the second negative DC bus voltage.

[0024] refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment of the invention, the first unbalanced bridge, the second unbalanced bridge, and the balanced bridge are always connected between the positive DC bus BUS+ and the negative DC bus BUS-, and the midpoint of the balanced bridge is connected to the ground wire. During the insulation testing process, the midpoints of the first unbalanced bridge and the second unbalanced bridge are connected to the ground wire respectively. Since both the first and second unbalanced bridges are bridge circuit structures and are originally connected between the positive DC bus BUS+ and the negative DC bus BUS-, the connection to the ground wire has little impact on the DC system and also little impact on the positive and negative bus voltages, resulting in more accurate positive and negative bus voltages and thus more accurate insulation impedance detection.

[0025] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 The first unbalanced bridge may include: a fifth resistor R5, a sixth resistor R6, and a first optocoupler U1;

[0026] The first and second input terminals of the first optocoupler U1 are used to receive control signals. The first output terminal of the first optocoupler U1 is connected to the ground wire. The second output terminal of the first optocoupler U1 is connected to the first terminal of the fifth resistor R5 and the first terminal of the sixth resistor R6, respectively.

[0027] The second terminal of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the positive DC bus BUS+;

[0028] The second terminal of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the negative DC bus BUS-.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, when the first optocoupler U1 is turned on, the midpoint of the first unbalanced bridge is connected to the ground wire; conversely, when the first optocoupler U1 is not turned on, the midpoint of the first unbalanced bridge is left floating. The first optocoupler U1 enables both the floating and grounding of the midpoint of the first unbalanced bridge, simplifying control and facilitating implementation.

[0030] Similarly, the second unbalanced bridge may include: the seventh resistor R7, the eighth resistor R8, and the second optocoupler U2. See [link to circuit diagram] for the specific circuit structure. Figure 1 This will not be elaborated upon here.

[0031] Specifically, the fifth resistor R5, the sixth resistor R6, the seventh resistor R7, and the eighth resistor R8 can be a single resistor, or formed by multiple resistors connected in parallel or series, without any restrictions.

[0032] In some embodiments, S103 may include:

[0033] S1031: Obtain the upper arm resistance of the balanced bridge, the upper arm resistance of the first unbalanced bridge, the lower arm resistance of the first unbalanced bridge, the upper arm resistance of the second unbalanced bridge, and the lower arm resistance of the second unbalanced bridge.

[0034] S1032: Determine the insulation impedance of the positive DC bus BUS+ and the insulation impedance of the negative DC bus BUS- based on the upper arm resistance of the balanced bridge, the upper arm resistance of the first unbalanced bridge, the lower arm resistance of the first unbalanced bridge, the upper arm resistance of the second unbalanced bridge, the lower arm resistance of the second unbalanced bridge, the first positive DC bus voltage, the first negative DC bus voltage, the second positive DC bus voltage, and the second negative DC bus voltage.

[0035] In some embodiments, the formulas for calculating the insulation resistance of the positive DC bus BUS+ and the insulation resistance of the negative DC bus BUS- can be:

[0036]

[0037]

[0038] Among them, U 1+ U is the voltage of the first positive DC bus. 1- U is the voltage of the first negative DC bus. 2+ U is the second positive DC bus voltage. 2- R0 is the voltage of the second negative DC bus; R0 is the resistance of the upper arm of the balanced bridge (the sum of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2). x1 R is the insulation resistance of the positive DC bus BUS+. x2 R is the insulation resistance of the negative DC bus BUS-. 11 R is the resistance of the upper arm of the first unbalanced bridge (the resistance value of the fifth resistor R5). 12 R is the resistance of the lower arm of the first unbalanced bridge (the resistance value of the sixth resistor R6). 21 R is the resistance of the upper arm of the second unbalanced bridge (the resistance of the seventh resistor R7). 22 This is the resistance of the lower arm of the second unbalanced bridge (the resistance value of the eighth resistor R8).

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the impedances of each arm of the balanced bridge, the first unbalanced bridge, and the second unbalanced bridge are known. The insulation impedance R of the positive DC bus BUS+ can be calculated using Ohm's law. x1 Insulation resistance R of negative DC bus BUS- x2 .

[0040] For example, Figure 3 The equivalent circuit diagram is shown when the first unbalanced bridge is connected. The upper arm of the first unbalanced bridge is connected in parallel with the upper arm of the balanced bridge and the insulation resistance of the positive DC bus BUS+; the lower arm of the first unbalanced bridge is connected in parallel with the lower arm of the balanced bridge and the insulation resistance of the negative DC bus BUS-. Therefore,

[0041] Similarly, Figure 4 The equivalent circuit diagram with the second unbalanced bridge connected is shown, from which we can obtain:

[0042]

[0043] Among them, R x1 and R x2 R is the unknown quantity, and the rest are known quantities. Solving the above bivariate equation yields R. x1 and R x2 The solution.

[0044] The impedances of the first unbalanced bridge and the second unbalanced bridge are not the same, which makes the voltages of the first positive DC bus and the second positive DC bus different, and / or the voltages of the first negative DC bus and the second negative DC bus different. Only then can the values ​​of the two insulation impedances be calculated according to the above binary equation.

[0045] In some embodiments, prior to S103, the method may further include:

[0046] S104: Obtain the first positive bus ripple voltage and the first negative bus ripple voltage when the midpoint of the first unbalanced bridge is connected to the ground wire and the midpoint of the second unbalanced bridge is floating.

[0047] S105: Obtain the second positive bus ripple voltage and the second negative bus ripple voltage when the midpoint of the first unbalanced bridge is floating and the midpoint of the second unbalanced bridge is connected to the ground wire;

[0048] S106: Correct the first positive DC bus voltage based on the first positive bus ripple voltage to obtain the corrected first positive DC bus voltage; correct the first negative DC bus voltage based on the first negative bus ripple voltage to obtain the corrected first negative DC bus voltage.

[0049] S107: Correct the second positive DC bus voltage based on the second positive bus ripple voltage to obtain the corrected second positive DC bus voltage; correct the second negative DC bus voltage based on the second negative bus ripple voltage to obtain the corrected second negative DC bus voltage.

[0050] S103 may specifically include: determining the insulation resistance of the positive DC bus BUS+ and the insulation resistance of the negative DC bus BUS- based on the corrected first positive DC bus voltage, the corrected first negative DC bus voltage, the corrected second positive DC bus voltage, and the corrected second negative DC bus voltage.

[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, due to the presence of bus ripple voltage, the obtained DC bus voltages (first positive DC bus voltage, second positive DC bus voltage, first negative DC bus voltage, and second negative DC bus voltage) are inaccurate, resulting in deviations and inaccuracies in the insulation impedance calculated using Ohm's law. Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, the obtained bus ripple voltages (first positive bus ripple voltage, first negative bus ripple voltage, second positive bus ripple voltage, and second negative bus ripple voltage) are used to correct the DC bus voltage, obtaining a more accurate DC bus voltage. The insulation impedance is then calculated based on the corrected DC bus voltage, resulting in a more precise calculation.

[0052] In some embodiments, S106 may include:

[0053] 1. Determine the effective value of the ripple voltage of the first positive busbar;

[0054] 2. Subtract the effective value of the first positive bus ripple voltage from the first positive DC bus voltage to obtain the corrected first positive DC bus voltage;

[0055] 3. Determine the effective value of the ripple voltage of the first negative bus;

[0056] 4. Subtract the effective value of the first negative bus ripple voltage from the first negative DC bus voltage to obtain the corrected first negative DC bus voltage; wherein, the first negative DC bus voltage is a negative value.

[0057] In this embodiment of the invention, the effective value of the bus ripple voltage is subtracted from the DC bus voltage to filter out the influence of the bus ripple voltage, thereby obtaining a more accurate DC bus voltage.

[0058] Furthermore, S107 can be modified using the same method, which will not be elaborated further.

[0059] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 The balance bridge may include: a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3 and a fourth resistor R4; the first end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the positive DC bus BUS+, and the second end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the ground wire through the second resistor R2; the first end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the ground wire, and the second end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the negative DC bus BUS- through the fourth resistor R4.

[0060] S101 may include:

[0061] S1011: Obtain the voltage of the third resistor R3 when the midpoint of the first unbalanced bridge is connected to the ground wire and the midpoint of the second unbalanced bridge is left floating.

[0062] S1012: Determine the first negative DC bus voltage based on the voltage across the third resistor R3;

[0063] S1013: Determine the first positive DC bus voltage based on the first negative DC bus voltage.

[0064] In some embodiments, S1013 may specifically include: obtaining a first voltage difference between the positive DC bus BUS+ and the negative DC bus BUS-, and subtracting the absolute value of the first negative DC bus voltage from the first voltage difference to obtain the first positive DC bus voltage.

[0065] In this embodiment of the invention, if an insulation impedance fault exists in the DC system, the DC bus midpoint will be unbalanced, and a voltage difference will exist between the DC bus midpoint and the grounding wire. This will result in inaccurate positive and negative DC bus voltages obtained directly. In this embodiment, the midpoint of the balanced bridge is connected to the grounding wire, which is an absolute 0 level. This allows for accurate detection of the voltage across a resistor in the balanced bridge (e.g., the third resistor R3), and then the first negative DC bus voltage can be calculated according to Ohm's law.

[0066] The voltage difference between the positive DC bus BUS+ and the negative DC bus BUS- is more accurate because it is not affected by the 0 level or the bus midpoint voltage. Therefore, the first positive DC bus voltage can be obtained by subtracting the absolute value of the first negative DC bus voltage from the first voltage difference. The bus voltage calculated by the above method is not affected by the bus midpoint voltage and is more accurate, thus making the calculated insulation impedance more accurate as well. The positive and negative DC bus voltages can be calculated using the voltage of any resistor in the balance bridge, not just the third resistor R3.

[0067] Furthermore, a differential voltage sampling circuit can be used to obtain the first voltage difference, which is more accurate.

[0068] In some embodiments, S1011 may include: using a differential voltage sampling circuit to obtain the voltage of the third resistor R3 when the midpoint of the first unbalanced bridge is connected to the ground wire and the midpoint of the second unbalanced bridge is floating.

[0069] In this embodiment of the invention, a differential voltage sampling circuit can be used to detect the voltage of the third resistor R3, and the detection result is accurate.

[0070] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 5 The differential voltage sampling circuit may include: a first amplification module 11, a second amplification module 12, an isolation module 13, a differential amplification module 14, and a main control module 15;

[0071] The input terminal of the first amplification module 11 is connected to the first terminal of the third resistor R3, and the output terminal of the first amplification module 11 is connected to the first input terminal of the isolation module 13.

[0072] The input terminal of the second amplification module 12 is connected to the second terminal of the third resistor R3, and the output terminal of the second amplification module 12 is connected to the second input terminal of the isolation module 13.

[0073] The first output terminal of the isolation module 13 is connected to the first input terminal of the differential amplifier module 14, and the second output terminal of the isolation module 13 is connected to the second input terminal of the differential amplifier module 14.

[0074] The differential amplifier module 14 outputs a sampled signal.

[0075] In some embodiments, prior to S101, the method may further include:

[0076] S108: Obtain the voltage difference between the midpoint of the busbar and the grounding wire;

[0077] S109: If the voltage difference is greater than the preset voltage value, it is determined that there is an insulation resistance fault. Then, the steps of obtaining the first positive DC bus voltage and the first negative DC bus voltage when the midpoint of the first unbalanced bridge is connected to the ground wire and the midpoint of the second unbalanced bridge is floating are executed. Then, the insulation resistance of the positive DC bus BUS+ and the insulation resistance of the negative DC bus BUS- are determined based on the first positive DC bus voltage, the first negative DC bus voltage, the second positive DC bus voltage and the second negative DC bus voltage.

[0078] S1010: If the pressure difference is not greater than the preset difference value, then it is determined that there is no insulation resistance fault.

[0079] When there is no grounding fault in the DC system, the voltage difference between the bus midpoint and the grounding wire is very small. When a grounding fault occurs, due to the imbalance between the insulation resistance of the positive DC bus BUS+ and the negative DC bus BUS-, the first manifestation is an imbalance in the positive and negative bus voltages, and the voltage difference between the bus midpoint and the grounding wire increases rapidly. Therefore, insulation impedance faults can be quickly identified by the voltage difference between the bus midpoint and the grounding wire, allowing for timely countermeasures. Furthermore, the insulation impedance is calculated using methods S101 to S103 to accurately identify the location of the insulation fault.

[0080] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.
