Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to aging test technology, in particular to a reactive aging test circuit. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, reactive power aging testing has become a key step in evaluating the lifespan and performance stability of power electronic devices (such as IGBT modules, capacitors, and reactors). Traditional reactive power aging testing equipment typically applies a continuous reactive load to the device under test using an external power supply, simulating the reactive power impacts found in actual operating conditions.

[0003] Existing technical solutions such as CN201510288357.8 mostly use resistive loads or linear power supplies for direct loading, which have the following defects: Reactive power is dissipated through resistors or linear power supplies, converting electrical energy into heat during testing. This results in low energy efficiency (typical losses reach 60%-80%), significantly increasing testing costs and requiring additional heat dissipation equipment. Traditional busbar designs fail to account for the effects of stray inductance and distributed capacitance, which can easily cause voltage oscillations under high-frequency conditions, leading to test waveform distortion (e.g., harmonic distortion exceeding ±5%) and compromising the accuracy of aging assessments.

[0004] During the test, inrush current and voltage spikes can easily damage the device under test and the control circuit. However, existing technologies lack effective polarity protection and dynamic energy discharge mechanisms, resulting in an increased equipment failure rate. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides a reactive aging test circuit to address the problem that traditional busbar designs in the prior art fail to consider the influence of stray inductance and distributed capacitance, which easily induces voltage oscillation under high-frequency conditions, leading to test waveform distortion (such as harmonic distortion of more than ±5%), and affecting the accuracy of aging assessment.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is solved by the following technical solutions: A reactive power aging test circuit includes a test device and a test unit. The test unit is connected to the test device and is used to perform an aging test on the test device. The test unit includes a power supply, a control board and a busbar unit.

The control board generates a test signal for testing the test device and generates a control signal to control the power supply. The busbar unit is used to connect the control board and the test device.

[0007] Preferably, a diode protection unit is further included, one end of the diode protection unit is connected to the power supply, and the other end is connected to the control board, and the control board is protected by the diode protection unit.

[0008] Preferably, a filter capacitor unit is further included, and the filter capacitor unit is connected in parallel with the busbar unit and the test component.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the busbar unit is also connected to a bus capacitor, the other end of the test assembly is connected to a reactor, and the reactor and the bus capacitor are cyclically charged and discharged.
