Abstract

This paper proposes a novel fault diagnosis method of a electrolytic capacitor used for DC-link voltage smoothing in adjustable speed drives. The equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the electrolytic capacitor is directly estimated from DC-link voltage and load currents and the status of the electrolytic capacitor is determined from the estimated ESR. To compensate the variation of the ESR owing to temperature variation, diodes are located on the same PCB near the capacitor and the temperature of the capacitor is sensed indirectly from the voltage drop of diodes. Simulation and experimental studies show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

본 논문은 가변속 구동 장치에서 직류링크 전압 평활용으로 사용되는 전해 커패시터의 새로운 고장 진단 방법을 제안한다. 전해 커패시터의 등가직렬저항은 직류링크 전압과 부하 전류로부터 직접 추정되고, 추정된 등가직렬저항으로부터 전해 커패시터의 상태가 결정된다. 온도 변동에 따른 등가직렬저항 변동을 보상하기 위해, 커패시터 주변의 PCB에 다이오드를 부착하고 다이오드의 전압 강하로부터 커패시터의 온도를 간접적으로 검출한다. 시뮬레이션 및 실험은 제안된 방식의 효용성을 보인다.
