This application relates to the field of power
system technology, specifically providing a detection method and
inverter system for locating faulty relays. It aims to solve the problems of existing
relay failure detection schemes being unable to accurately locate specific faulty relays, or requiring complex
sampling circuits and consuming excessive resources. To this end, the detection method provided in this application includes: acquiring combined on / off logic based on preset detection timing; outputting three sets of control signals, respectively used to control the on / off of an inner and outer
relay on one
phase line, the remaining phase lines, and the
neutral line; performing
voltage detection; and locating the faulty
relay based on the
voltage detection result. This application can quickly locate specific faulty relays simply by judging the presence or absence of
voltage. The circuit structure is simple,
resource consumption is low, it can quickly locate specific faulty relays, covers start-up, operation, and shutdown detection, and can be flexibly extended to any multi-phase
system.
