[0002] As urban rail transit trains have been in operation for a long time, the failure rate of high-power modules will increase. Among them, the charger, as the core processing module of the subway train auxiliary system, can be applied to various train models. It is mainly responsible for converting the DC 1500V high voltage on the train into DC 110V output voltage through "DC-AC-DC" inverter to power the low-voltage equipment on the train, and also to charge the train's battery. The Siemens charger module adopts a 3-level 6-pulse drive control method, and the board design is complex.
[0003] Under the current conditions, to complete the full-function testing of the auxiliary system charger, both pre-repair testing and post-repair acceptance testing require installing the charger on the train for testing.
