Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of frequency converter testing, in particular to a frequency converter low voltage ride-through capability testing system. Background Art

[0002] The inverter provides the required power voltage according to the actual needs of the motor, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving and speed regulation. In addition, the inverter has many protection functions, such as over-current, over-voltage, overload protection, etc. With the continuous improvement of industrial automation, the inverter has also been widely used.

[0003] However, in actual use, the inverter will be in a low voltage state when the power grid is unstable, there is a sudden power outage or other emergencies. If this may cause failure or even scrapping, the inverter needs to have a certain low voltage ride-through capability to ensure that the system will not be damaged or scrapped due to low voltage. Especially in industrial production, it is often necessary to ensure that the equipment operates continuously for several hours or days. Once it stops, it will cause great losses to production. Therefore, improving the low voltage ride-through capability of the inverter is an important means to ensure the safe operation of the equipment and reduce losses.

[0004] At present, the low voltage ride-through capability test of the inverter is an important performance test item of the inverter performance test. At present, most tests judge the low voltage ride-through capability of the inverter by reducing the voltage to a specified time and observing whether the inverter can operate normally. However, although the above operation can judge whether the low voltage ride-through capability of the inverter meets the standard, its own judgment method is that the inverter can operate normally when it is reduced to a specified voltage for a specified time, but it is not possible to make an effective comparison of qualified inverters. At the same time, although some inverters can operate normally, if the electrical quantities of the inverter under low voltage are unconventional, there may be hidden dangers in subsequent use. At the same time, the current detection system also lacks safety protection measures in case of inverter failure or even explosion during the detection process. Summary of the invention
