Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-voltage battery cluster technology, specifically to a high-voltage battery cluster withstand voltage testing device and method. Background Technology

[0002] High-voltage battery clusters are often composed of multiple battery packs, which in turn often include multiple battery modules, which can be made up of multiple cells connected in series.

[0003] Currently, electrochemical energy storage has also seen large-scale development in power systems. Typical applications are gradually reaching the MWh level of a single container, with single battery pack port voltages reaching 1000V or even 1500V, and single battery pack charge / discharge currents reaching hundreds of amperes.

[0004] In existing technologies, withstand voltage tests require manual intervention to increase the voltage and trigger the test. During testing, the voltage needs to be raised to over 1500V DC, posing significant safety risks. After the test, the equipment must be allowed to slowly discharge to a safe voltage before the test parameters are observed, recorded manually, and the results confirmed. This process is time-consuming, inefficient, prone to errors, and the data is difficult to archive. Therefore, we propose a high-voltage battery cluster withstand voltage testing device and method to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-voltage battery cluster withstand voltage testing device and method to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a high-voltage battery cluster withstand voltage testing device, comprising a computer and a high-voltage battery cluster, wherein the computer is connected to a programmable boost converter for controlling and outputting high-voltage DC power, the programmable boost converter is connected to a detection device for detecting and controlling the DC high-voltage output, the detection device is connected to a judgment device for determining whether the leakage current meets the requirements, the judgment device is connected to a controller and an alarm device, the controller is used to control the output of the high-voltage DC power and the duration of the entire high-voltage output, the alarm device is used to remind the tester of the test results, and the controller is connected to the high-voltage battery cluster.

[0007] The computer is used to issue control commands and to receive test results and test phenomena. The computer is connected to the detection device and the alarm device.

[0008] The programmable step-up transformer is a programmable step-up transformer, and the detection device is a leakage current detector.

[0009] The judgment device is a leakage current detection and judgment tester, and the controller is a general-purpose high-precision timing controller.

[0010] The alarm device is an audible and visual alarm.

[0011] A high-voltage battery cluster withstand voltage test method is described below:

[0012] S1: Equipment Connection; The programmable step-up transformer, detection device, and judgment device are connected through high-voltage DC cables and to the high-voltage battery cluster through high-voltage DC cables. Each device is grounded separately to avoid circulating current. The detection device, judgment device, and controller are connected to the computer through communication shielded cables.

[0013] S2: Test Procedure: The computer issues a test start command, and all devices begin operation. The programmable step-up transformer raises the voltage to the set voltage, the detection device starts working, and records the leakage current changes in real time with high precision. The test time is set via a timer. After the output voltage of the programmable step-up transformer stabilizes, the corresponding indicator light illuminates. The computer issues a test command, and the high-voltage DC output is sent to the high-voltage battery cluster. The timer and judgment device begin working, judging in real time whether the leakage current meets the set value and feeding back to the computer to control whether the test program continues. If it does not meet the value, the alarm device issues a warning, the emergency stop switch is disconnected, and the test is checked. If the value is met, the test continues. After the timer expires, the test results are displayed by the alarm device in the form of an audible and visual alarm, and the computer records and saves the test results. After the test process is completed, the step-up transformer will automatically discharge to ensure that there is no residual voltage in the high-voltage cable and to ensure the safety of the test personnel.

[0014] In step S1, the computer connects to the alarm device via wired or wireless means.

[0015] In step S2, the system determines in real time whether the leakage current meets the set value and feeds it back to the computer to control whether the test program should continue. If it does not meet the set value, the test program stops.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. By using computer-controlled software to remotely step up the voltage of the transformer and control the output of high voltage and voltage venting, a sufficient safe distance is ensured between the personnel testing the high-voltage equipment and the personnel, thus improving safety protection.

[0018] 2. The leakage current detection device automatically judges the test results and feeds them back to the audible and visual alarm device in real time. It also feeds back the relevant changing parameters during the test to the computer, and the computer automatically saves the relevant test data. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
