Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of AC parameter measurement technology, specifically an AC parameter tester. Background Technology

[0002] Alternating current (AC) is a type of electric current that varies with time. Its parameters include frequency, period, amplitude (maximum and effective values), phase, and power. AC is generally classified into sinusoidal AC and non-sinusoidal AC. Sinusoidal AC current changes with time according to a sinusoidal law, while non-sinusoidal AC includes more variations. Measurement of AC parameters includes frequency and period measurement, amplitude measurement, phase measurement, and power measurement.

[0003] A search revealed a patent application with application number CN202111107457.9 that discloses a method for testing aviation AC power parameters. The specific steps are as follows: S1, a transformer converts the high-voltage AC signal to be tested into a voltage signal u1, and a current sensor converts the current signal to be tested into a current signal i1; S2, signal conditioning and amplification yield u2 and i2; S3, zero-crossing detection; S4, signal frequency multiplication to obtain a sampling clock; S5, simultaneous sampling of voltage and current; S6, transmission of sampled data to the subsequent CPU for calculation to obtain parameter results. By using a digital frequency multiplier generated by the FPGA's internal digital circuitry, the method avoids the shortcomings of poor stability, low consistency, and low maximum output frequency associated with analog phase-locked loop frequency multiplication. This frequency multiplier generates a square wave signal with a frequency N times that of the power supply under test, and this frequency can change with the input voltage frequency, achieving real-time tracking and avoiding spectral leakage. It can be applied to the 400Hz aviation power supply testing field.
