Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic device testing technology, and specifically to a method, system, device, and medium for insulation condition testing. Background Technology
[0002] As power electronic devices develop towards higher frequencies and higher power densities, power modules such as Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) are prone to local electric field distortion under high-frequency square wave voltages due to dielectric constant mismatch and geometric discontinuities. This is especially true at the triple junction (TJ) of the substrate-electrode-silicon gel, where the electric field strength can be several times that of the average field strength, leading to frequent interfacial partial discharge (IPD), which seriously threatens the insulation performance and lifespan of the power modules.
[0003] While existing technologies have focused on the electric field distribution and discharge phenomena at the three junction points, in actual operating conditions, power modules face high-frequency square wave voltages. Existing research results based on power frequency or low-frequency voltages are significantly inconsistent with actual high-frequency square wave operating conditions, failing to provide effective guidance for actual operation. Furthermore, there is a lack of understanding of the close coupling relationship between bubble generation, evolution, and discharge behavior. In-situ observation and system analysis of the dynamic coupling process lack matching of the coupling relationship between partial discharge signals and bubble morphology, making it difficult to infer the morphology and dynamic changes of bubbles by accurately capturing partial discharge signals, and thus hindering the accurate detection and assessment of insulation status.

[0058] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of this application.
[0059] It should be noted that all uses of "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the present invention are for the purpose of distinguishing two entities with the same name but different names or different parameters. It is clear that "first" and "second" are only for the convenience of description and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present invention. Subsequent embodiments will not explain this in detail.
[0060] This invention proposes a method for insulation condition detection; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 ,include:
[0061] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0062] S1. Obtain the discharge signal of the power module, perform high-pass filtering and wavelet noise reduction on the discharge signal to obtain the discharge pulse;
[0063] S2. Record the morphological changes of bubbles at the three-way junction of the substrate, electrode, and silicon gel in the power module;
[0064] S3. Based on the phase-resolved partial discharge spectrum analysis, the discharge pulse is obtained to obtain the changes in partial discharge parameters. The changes in partial discharge parameters are classified to obtain the insulation defect type.
[0065] S4. Evaluate the insulation degradation state based on the morphological changes of the bubbles and the type of insulation defects.
[0066] The practical operation process of this invention is as follows:
[0067] Step 1: Set up the test platform: including a high-frequency square wave power supply, a discharge model of the power module structure, an ultra-high frequency (UHF) sensor, a high-pass filter, an electron microscope, and a signal processing unit;
[0068] Step 2: Signal Acquisition and Processing: The discharge signal is acquired using a UHF sensor, filtered by a 400MHz high-pass filter, and then extracted using wavelet noise reduction.
[0069] Step 3: In-situ observation of bubble evolution: The morphological changes of the bubble at the three junction points are recorded in real time using an electron microscope and divided into four stages: initial no bubble, isolated bubble, elliptical expansion, and through-breakdown.
[0070] Step 4: Discharge Feature Extraction: Analyze the evolution of discharge phase, amplitude, and number of discharges over time based on phase-resolved partial discharge (PRPD) maps.
[0071] Step 5: Insulation condition assessment: Based on the number of discharges, the trend of amplitude growth, and the changes in bubble morphology, the insulation deterioration condition is assessed.
[0072] First, the discharge signal from the power module is acquired. Then, a high-pass filter is used to remove low-frequency interference, followed by wavelet denoising to further eliminate noise effects, thus obtaining a pure discharge pulse. This avoids interference from external signals in subsequent analyses, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the analysis results based on the discharge pulse, and laying the foundation for accurately determining the insulation degradation state.
[0073] Phase-resolved partial discharge (MRD) spectral analysis of discharge pulses can clearly reveal the characteristics of MDD at different phases. By classifying the changes in MDD parameters, different types of insulation defects can be accurately identified, such as internal air gap discharge or surface discharge.
[0074] The assessment comprehensively considers both the morphological changes of bubbles and the types of insulation defects. Changes in bubble morphology directly reflect the internal physical changes of the insulation material, while the types of insulation defects reveal the nature of the insulation fault. Combining these two aspects avoids the limitations of assessments based on a single factor and significantly improves the accuracy of insulation degradation status assessment.
[0075] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The steps of acquiring the discharge signal from the power module, performing high-pass filtering and wavelet noise reduction on the discharge signal to obtain the discharge pulse include:
[0076] The discharge signal generated by the insulating medium of the power module under the action of an electric field is collected by a high-frequency sensor.
[0077] Low-frequency noise was filtered out by a 400MHz high-pass filter, and the signal was decomposed into multiple scales by wavelet transform and high-frequency noise coefficients were removed to obtain the discharge pulse.
[0078] The waveform of the discharge pulse is obtained by reconstructing the discharge pulse.
[0079] A 400MHz high-pass filter is used to filter out low-frequency noise below 400MHz from the acquired discharge signal, making the discharge signal purer.
[0080] Wavelet transform possesses multi-scale analysis capabilities, enabling the decomposition of signals at different scales. During this decomposition, high-frequency noise figures can be separated and removed. Unlike traditional fixed-frequency filtering methods, wavelet denoising adaptively processes high-frequency noise based on the local characteristics of the signal. While removing noise, it better preserves the signal's detailed information, ensuring that key features such as the shape, amplitude, and duration of the discharge pulse are not compromised. This allows for accurate analysis of the discharge process and identification of insulation fault types.
[0081] The reconstructed waveform can accurately reflect the discharge situation generated by the insulating medium under the action of the electric field.
[0082] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 ,
[0083] The step of recording the morphological changes of bubbles at the substrate-electrode-silicone gel three-way junction of the power module includes:
[0084] Based on the instantaneous morphology of the bubble at the three-way junction of the substrate-electrode-silicone gel in the power module, the three-dimensional contour of the bubble is obtained, and the initial morphology data of the bubble is obtained.
[0085] The changes of bubbles under the action of an electric field are continuously collected to obtain time series morphological parameters and corresponding images, which are then fused to obtain an evolutionary dataset of bubble morphological changes.
[0086] The initial state of a bubble contains key information about its formation, such as size, shape, and position. Bubbles of different initial sizes expand at different rates and burst at different times under the influence of an electric field.
[0087] The changes of bubbles under the action of an electric field are continuously collected, and the morphological characteristics of the bubbles at each moment are recorded in detail, so as to fully reflect the dynamic behavior of the bubbles.
[0088] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The step of analyzing the discharge pulse based on the phase-resolved partial discharge spectrum to obtain the changes in partial discharge parameters includes:
[0089] The discharge pulses are phase-marked, and the discharge pulses within each marked phase window are statistically analyzed to calculate the period, average discharge amplitude, and maximum discharge amplitude of each phase window.
[0090] A two-dimensional PRPD spectrum is plotted with phase as the horizontal axis and discharge amplitude as the vertical axis.
[0091] Feature parameters are extracted based on two-dimensional PRPD maps to obtain changes in partial discharge parameters, including the evolution of discharge phase, amplitude, and number of discharges over time.
[0092] The discharge pulses are phase-marked, and the discharge pulses within each phase window are counted. The period, average discharge amplitude, and maximum discharge amplitude of each phase window are calculated. Partial discharges caused by different types of insulation defects have specific phase distribution patterns. Internal air gap discharges are concentrated in a specific phase range between the voltage rising and falling edges, while the phase distribution of surface discharges is relatively broad.
[0093] The calculation of average and maximum discharge amplitudes can reflect the intensity and severity of the discharge. As the fault progresses, the maximum discharge amplitude increases significantly, and the dynamic changes in discharge amplitude can be comprehensively observed through PRPD plots.
[0094] The PRPD spectrum of internal air gap discharge typically exhibits a bimodal or multimodal distribution, while the spectrum of surface discharge may show a single peak with a broad phase distribution. By analyzing these characteristic parameters, the type of insulation fault can be accurately identified.
[0095] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The step of classifying the changes in the partial discharge parameters to obtain the type of insulation defect includes:
[0096] Construct a set of feature vectors for each type of insulation defect;
[0097] The changes in partial discharge parameters are classified, and the similarity between the changes in partial discharge parameters and the feature vector set is calculated to obtain the insulation defect type corresponding to the feature vector with a similarity exceeding a threshold.
[0098] Constructing a feature vector set for each type of insulation defect provides an abstract and quantitative representation of the essential characteristics of the insulation defect. By calculating the similarity between changes in partial discharge parameters and the feature vector set, the matching insulation defect type can be identified more accurately, avoiding classification errors caused by missing or inaccurate features and significantly improving classification accuracy. By comprehensively considering the synergistic effect of multiple feature parameters, the fit between changes in partial discharge parameters and different insulation defect types can be evaluated more comprehensively. Even if one parameter is disturbed and becomes abnormal, other parameters can still provide effective classification information, thereby reducing the risk of misjudgment and improving the reliability of the classification results.
[0099] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The step of evaluating the insulation degradation state based on the morphological changes of the bubbles and the type of insulation defects includes:
[0100] Establish a mapping relationship between defects and bubbles, and calculate the correlation degree to obtain the correlation between defects and bubbles;
[0101] An insulation degradation status index is constructed based on the correlation between the defects and bubbles, wherein the insulation degradation status index includes the remaining insulation life.
[0102] The insulation degradation state is obtained by evaluating the morphological changes of the bubbles and the type of insulation defects based on the insulation degradation state index.
[0103] Changes in bubble morphology can intuitively reflect physical changes inside or on the surface of insulating materials, while the type of insulation defect clarifies the specific nature of insulation faults. By establishing a mapping relationship between the two and calculating the correlation, the insulation degradation status can be comprehensively assessed, avoiding the limitations of relying on a single factor for assessment and greatly improving the accuracy of the assessment results.
[0104] Establishing a mapping relationship between defects and bubbles and calculating the correlation degree allows for precise quantification of the correlation between bubble morphology changes and insulation defect types. Different types of insulation defects may lead to different bubble morphology changes, and the type and severity of insulation defects can be inferred from these morphological changes. Insulation degradation status indicators can dynamically reflect the degradation process of insulation materials. As insulation materials age and deteriorate, the morphological changes of bubbles and the types of insulation defects continuously evolve, allowing for real-time monitoring of the degradation rate and remaining life of the insulation material.
[0105] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The morphological changes of the bubbles include an initial bubble-free stage, an isolated microbubble appearance stage, a bubble elliptical expansion stage, and a bubble penetration and breakdown stage.
[0106] These four stages clearly outline the entire process of bubbles forming, growing in size, and eventually leading to insulation breakdown. The initial bubble-free stage indicates that the insulating material is in a relatively good state, with no significant physical changes caused by factors such as electric fields and heat. As insulation deterioration intensifies, the stage of isolated microbubbles appears, marking the beginning of localized physical or chemical changes within the insulating material, such as material decomposition or gas evolution. The elliptical bubble expansion stage shows that the bubbles continue to grow and deform under the influence of electric fields and pressure, further developing insulation deterioration. The bubble penetration and breakdown stage signifies that the insulating material can no longer withstand the voltage, resulting in a breakdown fault. Accurately understanding the different degrees and states of insulation deterioration is crucial.
[0107] This invention proposes a system for insulation condition detection; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 ,include:
[0108] The acquisition unit 100 is configured to acquire the discharge signal of the power module, perform high-pass filtering and wavelet noise reduction on the discharge signal to obtain the discharge pulse;
[0109] Bubble unit 200 is configured to record morphological changes of bubbles at the substrate-electrode-silicone gel junction of the power module;
[0110] Analysis unit 300 is configured to analyze the discharge pulse based on phase-resolved partial discharge spectrum, obtain changes in partial discharge parameters, classify the changes in partial discharge parameters, and obtain insulation defect types.
[0111] The evaluation unit 400 is configured to evaluate the insulation degradation state based on the morphological changes of the bubbles and the type of insulation defects.
[0112] The system includes a high-frequency square wave power supply, a discharge model simulating the power module structure, an ultra-high frequency sensor, a high-pass filter, an electron microscope, and a signal processing unit. The high-pass filter is a 400MHz passive LC filter. The signal processing unit uses a wavelet noise reduction algorithm to process the discharge signal, preferably employing the sym8 wavelet basis function. The discharge characteristics include the phase distribution pattern in the PRPD spectrum, and the increasing trends of the number of discharges and amplitude, which are used for power module insulation status assessment and lifetime prediction.
[0113] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5-16 , Figure 5 The diagram shows the structure of the packaged insulation interface discharge test platform, which includes a high-frequency square wave power supply, a discharge model, a UHF sensor, a filter, an oscilloscope, and an electron microscope.
[0114] Figure 6 The image shows a comparison of the discharge signals at the glue-solid interface before and after noise reduction, demonstrating a good noise suppression effect while preserving the amplitude and phase information of the discharge pulse.

[0116] Figure 11-14 These are PRPD maps of interface discharge at different stages, showing the evolution of discharge phase from dispersed to concentrated, and morphology from triangular to needle-like to multi-peak stratification.
[0117] Figure 15 It is a statistical graph showing the changes in total discharge amplitude and number of discharges over time, reflecting the trend of discharge energy accumulation and frequency increase.
[0118] Figure 16 It is a statistical graph showing the changes in the maximum and average discharge amplitude over time, demonstrating the pattern that the discharge intensity increases with insulation degradation.
[0119] The detection method for cement-bonded interface discharge in high-voltage power modules includes the following steps:
[0120] a) Apply a high-frequency square wave voltage to the simulated sample;
[0121] b) Synchronously acquire discharge signals and bubble images;
[0122] c) Filter and reduce noise in the discharge signal;
[0123] d) Extract discharge amplitude, phase, and frequency characteristics;
[0124] e) Divide the insulation degradation stages according to the changes in bubble morphology.
[0125] Figure 5 The diagram shows the structure of the packaged insulation interface discharge test platform, which includes a high-frequency square wave power supply: HVP-22P(N) type, output 0~22kV, frequency 0~100kHz, rise / fall time adjustable from 50~500ns; discharge model: simulated direct-bonded copper (DBC) ceramic substrate structure, copper electrode curvature radius 0.38mm, electrode spacing 0.3mm; UHF sensor: bandwidth 200MHz~2GHz; filter: 400MHz LC passive high-pass filter; oscilloscope and electron microscope.
[0126] In this embodiment, according to Figure 5 The diagram shows the structure of the packaged insulation interface discharge test platform. Wiring is performed, and the parameters of the high-frequency square wave power supply are set as follows: frequency 10kHz, pulse width 20μs, rise / fall edge 500ns; voltage is boosted to the discharge initiation voltage in 100V / s steps.
[0127] In this embodiment, a TWUHF-G04 ultra-high frequency sensor is used, with an effective measurement bandwidth of 200MHz to 2GHz. The sensor axis is kept at a fixed distance of 5cm from the three junctions of the sample to optimize signal reception sensitivity.
[0128] In this embodiment, an LC passive high-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 400MHz is connected in series between the sensor and the oscilloscope (with a bandwidth ≥ 2GHz) to effectively suppress low-frequency interference. The discharge characteristics are extracted after the signal is filtered and subjected to wavelet noise reduction.
[0129] In this embodiment, Figures 7-10 These are microscopic images of the four stages of bubble evolution at the three-junction point, captured using a 4K resolution electron microscope with adjustable focal length and continuously adjustable magnification from 20x to 200x. The lens was directly aimed at the key three-junction point region of the sample. Software control ensured strict synchronization with the acquisition of discharge signals, capturing the dynamic evolution of the bubbles at a rate of 1-5 frames per second. All experiments were conducted under a constant temperature environment (25±1°C) to eliminate the influence of temperature fluctuations. Based on bubble morphology, the bubbles were divided into four stages.
[0130] In this embodiment, a square wave power supply is activated, and voltage is applied according to the above parameters. The UHF detection system and electron microscope are simultaneously turned on. The UHF signal is monitored in real time. Once the discharge initiation is detected, the voltage is stabilized at 6.5kV, and continuous experimentation begins. The system simultaneously records three key data streams: ① the processed discharge pulse sequence (including amplitude, phase, and time); ② the corresponding applied voltage waveform; and ③ a timed sequence of high-resolution images of the three junction area.
[0131] Figures 11-14 Is according to Figure 6 The PRPD spectrum of the interface discharge signal after the step processing is divided into 4 stages, showing the process of discharge phase from dispersed to concentrated, and morphology from triangular to needle-like to multi-peak layering.
[0132] Statistical analysis was performed on the recorded discharge data, and plotted as follows: Figure 15 , Figure 16 The trend graph shown illustrates the changes in the total discharge amplitude and the number of discharges. When the number of discharges per unit time accelerates, increasing by more than 50% compared to the previous stage, it indicates that the insulation is entering a period of rapid degradation. Before breakdown, the maximum discharge amplitude usually shows a significant jump, increasing by approximately 65% in this example.
[0133] After the appearance of visible bubbles, the average discharge amplitude may decrease or its growth slows down due to a surge in the number of discharges, indicating a shift in failure mode from material micro-damage to air gap ionization dominance. By combining this with the transformation of bubble morphology from bubble nucleation to directional bubble expansion, precise assessment of the insulation state can be achieved, progressing from healthy to early warning and then to critical conditions.
