[0077] In the frequency converter life prediction system, DC power is accessed by the power port, the IO1 end to the IO6 end of the first controller U1 drives the on-off state of the first power tube Q1, the second power tube Q2, the third power tube Q3, the fourth power tube Q4, the fifth power tube Q5 and the sixth power tube Q6, respectively, inverts and frequency-converts the DC power and outputs three-phase power, which is received by the output port. The current sampling, signal conversion, voltage division and filtering of the three-phase power input to the output port are performed by the mutual inductor device, and the processed signals are subjected to signal following processing by the second operational amplifier OP2, the sixth resistor R6, the first processing device and the second processing device, respectively, and are subjected to addition processing by the third operational amplifier OP3, the seventh resistor R7 and the eighth resistor R8. When the three-phase is balanced, the third operational amplifier OP3 outputs zero potential. When unbalanced, if the signal output by the third operational amplifier OP3 is less than the negative value state imbalance threshold provided by the third reference power source VF3 or greater than the positive value state imbalance threshold provided by the fourth reference power source VF4, the third comparator A3 or the fourth comparator A4 will output the first detection signal, which is received by the IO11 end and the IO12 end of the first controller U1, respectively. At this time, the first controller U1 will stop driving the frequency converter module 2 to invert and frequency-convert, and will output six groups of driving signals in a timed manner, i.e. the IO1 end of the first controller U1 outputs a group of driving signals in a timed manner, and then the IO4 end outputs a group of driving signals in a timed manner, and so on, to control the output of driving signals by the IO5 end, the IO2 end, the IO4 end and the IO6 end in turn, so as to drive the first power tube Q1, the third power tube Q3, the fifth power tube Q5, the second power tube Q2, the fourth power tube Q4 and the sixth power tube Q6 in turn.

When the IO1 end outputs the driving signal, the Y end of the third logic device J3 triggers the fourth end and the third end of the first analog switch U2 to be conductive, so that the emitter of the first power tube Q1 is grounded, so that the first operational amplifier OP1 cooperates with the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3, the first capacitor C1, the third diode D3, the fourth diode D4, the fifth diode D5, the sixth diode D6, the seventh diode D7, the second capacitor C2, the fourth resistor R4, the fifth resistor R5 and the first voltage stabilizing source VCC1 to detect the saturation conduction voltage drop of the first power tube Q1.

When the detected signal is greater than the second detection threshold set by the second reference power source VF2, the second comparator A2 outputs a high level signal, i.e. a third detection signal, indicating that the aging is in the late stage. Similarly, when the IO3 end outputs the driving signal, the second logic device J2 triggers the eighth end and the ninth end of the first analog switch U2 to be conductive,The monomer detection unit 302 performs aging detection on the third power tube Q3, and outputs a driving signal from the IO5 terminal to perform aging detection on the fifth power tube Q5. After the driving signal is output from the IO1 terminal, the IO3 terminal and the IO5 terminal, the first controller U1 outputs the driving signal from the IO2 terminal, the IO4 terminal and the IO6 terminal in turn in a timing manner, and during this period, the IO7 terminal of the first controller U1 controls the first terminal and the second terminal of the first analog switch U2 to be conductive, the emitter of the second power tube Q2, the emitter of the fourth power tube Q4 and the emitter of the sixth power tube Q6 are grounded, the first MOS tube M1 is cut off, and the aging degree of the second power tube Q2, the fourth power tube Q4 and the sixth power tube Q6 is detected according to the state of the driving signal output from the IO2 terminal, the IO4 terminal and the IO6 terminal, and the IO9 terminal and the IO10 terminal of the first controller U1 receive.
