Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of power supply and power detection, and particularly relates to a detection circuit and an evaluation method for the output voltage quality of a variable-frequency power supply for high-voltage tests. Background Art

[0002] A variable-frequency power supply is an important component of an on-site high-voltage test system, which can convert the commonly used three-phase 380V AC power supply on site into a single-phase AC power supply with adjustable voltage and frequency.

[0003] There are various types of traditional variable-frequency power supplies, with uneven prices and qualities, and the product technology is not very mature. During on-site tests, there are often situations where the on-site test cannot be carried out due to the too poor output voltage quality of the variable-frequency power supply. At present, relevant user units do not have an evaluation method and device for the output voltage quality of variable-frequency power supplies. Therefore, it is very necessary to evaluate and test the output voltage quality of variable-frequency power supplies. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art and provides a detection circuit and an evaluation method for the output voltage quality of a variable-frequency power supply for high-voltage tests. By adjusting the parameters of the circuit elements in the variable load device in the test circuit, the operation modes of the variable-frequency power supply under different working conditions are simulated, and the output voltage quality under several most representative working conditions is tested. The output voltage quality mainly includes the output voltage instability and the waveform distortion rate. By separately evaluating and testing these two main indicators, the overall verification of its output voltage quality is realized.

[0005] These two performance indicators are measured in the same test circuit. Except for the variable-frequency power supply to be tested, other equipment used in the test circuit, including power analyzers, variable load devices, high-voltage test lines, etc., all use high-quality and high-performance special test equipment for inspection. Each test can obtain the data of the two voltage indicators under one working condition, and different values are assigned to them according to their influence degree on the output voltage quality of the variable-frequency power supply and the set standard values. Finally, the scores of these two voltage indicators are weighted and calculated to comprehensively judge the output power quality of the variable-frequency power supply, effectively ensuring the development of on-site high-voltage test work.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a detection circuit for the output voltage quality of a variable-frequency power supply for high-voltage tests, including a power supply filtering device, a variable-frequency power supply to be tested, and a voltage transformer;

[0012] The secondary side of the voltage transformer is connected to the input terminal of the waveform analyzer through a secondary test line.

[0013] The evaluation method of the detection circuit for the output voltage quality of the frequency conversion power supply for high-voltage tests is as follows:

[0014] First step: Ensure that the ambient temperature and humidity are constant, the power supply capacity is constant, and the output voltage is stable. Carry out the following steps under the condition that the environmental and power quality data of previous tests remain unchanged;

[0015] Second step: Connect the 380V power supply system to the power filter device using a low-voltage input cable, and connect the output terminal of the power filter device to the input terminal of the power interference generator;

[0016] Third step: Connect the output terminal of the power interference generator to the input terminal of the frequency conversion power supply under test using a low-voltage input cable. The output terminal of the frequency conversion power supply under test is connected to the variable load device through a low-voltage output cable. The frequency conversion power supply under test can convert the three-phase power supply into a single-phase power supply with adjustable voltage and frequency;

[0017] Fourth step: The primary winding of the voltage transformer is connected in parallel to the output loop of the frequency conversion power supply under test, and the input terminal of the waveform analyzer is connected to the secondary winding of the voltage transformer through a secondary test line;

[0019] Sixth step: Adjust the internal impedance value of the variable load device to the maximum value of 10Ω and make its power factor angle 0°;

[0020] Seventh step: Start the test loop and adjust the power filter device so that the output power supply voltage is a standard 380V voltage waveform without any harmonics;

[0021] Step 8: After adjusting the output frequency of the power supply under test to the maximum of 300 Hz, adjust the output voltage to reach the maximum of 350 V in steps of 5 V.

[0022] Step 9: By adjusting the internal impedance of the variable load device, make the output of the power supply reach the maximum current of 1142 A, and calculate the output voltage waveform distortion rate THD1 of the power supply under test by the waveform analyzer.

[0023]

[0024] Step 10: Keep the maximum output voltage and maximum output current of the power supply under test, adjust the power supply interference generator to make the input voltage of the power supply fluctuate within ±5%, and calculate the output voltage instability ΔU1% of the power supply at this time by the waveform analyzer.

[0030] If THD ≤ 2%, λ1 = 2; if 2% < THD ≤ 4%, λ1 = 1; if 4% < THD, λ1 = 0.

[0031] If ΔU% ≤ 0.5%, λ2 = 2; if 0.5% < ΔU% ≤ 1%, λ2 = 1; if 1% < ΔU%, λ2 = 0.

[0032] Step 16: Define the qualified conditions of the power supply under test:

[0033] If min[λ1, λ2] = 0, it is determined that the power supply under test is unqualified, and the comprehensive performance quality inspection ends.

[0034] If min[λ1, λ2] ≠ 0, determine that the variable-frequency power supply under test is qualified and proceed to the next step;

[0035] Step 17: If min[λ1, λ2] ≠ 0, define the comprehensive performance index of the variable-frequency power supply under test:

[0036] λ = λ1 + λ2;
