test introduction
Short-circuit the output of the module under various input and output states, the module should be able to achieve protection or retraction and short-circuit repeatedly many times. After the fault is eliminated, the module should automatically resume normal operation.
testing method

No-load to short-circuit: within the full range of the input voltage, when the module is switched from no-load to short-circuit, the module should be able to achieve output current limiting or retraction normally. After the short-circuit is removed, the module should be able to resume normal operation. Let the module work repeatedly from no-load to short-circuit, the short-circuit time is 1s, the release time is 1s, and the duration is 2 hours. After this, the short circuit is released to judge whether the module can work normally.
b. Full load to the short circuit: In the full range of the input voltage, the module should be able to achieve output current limiting or retraction from full load to short circuit. After the short circuit is removed, the module should be able to resume normal operation. Let the module go from full load to short circuit and remain short circuit for 2 hours. Then release the short circuit to determine whether the module can work normally.
c. Short-circuit power-on: short-circuit the output of the module first, then power on, and then power on within the input voltage range of the module. The module should be able to achieve normal current limiting or retraction. After the short-circuit fault is eliminated, the module should be able to resume normal work. After repeating the above test 10 times, let the short circuit open to judge whether the module can work normally.

- High-pressure no-load, low-pressure current-limiting operation test
test introduction
High-voltage no-load operation is the loss of the test module, especially the module with soft switching technology. Under the no-load conditions, the soft switch becomes a hard switch, and the loss of the module increases accordingly. The low-voltage full-load operation is to tests the loss of the module when the module is at the maximum input current. Under normal conditions, the module has the lowest efficiency when the module is in low-voltage input and full-load output, and the module generates the most serious heat at this time.

- Power supply special waveform test
test introduction
Verify the power module’s ability to operate stably in the presence of spikes, glitches and harmonics that may be formed by grid waveform distortion. The following waveforms must be input for testing:
(1) Glitch input test waveform
The glitch of the power grid is the most common waveform in the power grid. The size and amplitude of the glitch have no limit. In general, through the oscillation wave, input test and the ringing input waveform, the glitch input in the power grid can basically be simulated. Do the following glitch input test
Features: The peak of the power grid has an overshoot and will drop to 0v. The pulse width of overshoot and drop is very narrow, generally not greater than 100ms, and the overshoot amplitude is generally not more than 100v. The phase drop is not limited to the peak point, it can happen at any phase. This kind of waveform is very common in the real power grid, and opening any switch will cause this phenomenon.
(2) Voltage clipping waveform input
This waveform is also very common in power grids and is characterized by the fact that the power grid suddenly drops from an indeterminate phase to 0v, and then does not recover until the next half-wave begins. In iec1004-4-11, the drop of the waveform starts from more than half a cycle, but there are still many similar waveforms with a drop time less than half a cycle in the actual power grid. It is required during the test that the input voltage waveform starts to drop from 90 degrees, drops for 1/4 cycle, and works for 2 hours for a long time.
- The half-wave head of the power grid rises sharply to double the voltage. This waveform is mainly used to simulate the resonance overvoltage that will suddenly appear in the actual power grid, and in this case, the input overvoltage protection circuit of the module does not work. , this shock is dangerous for circuits with PFC. Test content: a. When the input voltage is 180v and the output is fully loaded, use the ac source to simulate the waveform, requiring 180v to work for 3 minutes, then the voltage suddenly increases to 380v for 100ms, and then returns to 180v, so that the module is in this state. In case of working for 1 hour for a long time, it should not be damaged; b. Set the ac source so that the input voltage is 0v for 5 minutes, then the voltage suddenly increases to 380v for 100ms, and then returns to 0v, so that the module can belong in this case Time to work for 1 hour and should not be damaged.
(4) Test method
Use the ac source to supply power to the module, and the module is fully loaded for output; use the ac source to simulate the input of spikes, glitches, and harmonic voltages, and each special voltage input works for 2 hours to measure the input current and output voltage. The module should be able to run stably. During the test, pay attention to the x capacitor, auxiliary power supply, soft-start resistor, and other possible problems.
judgment standard
In practice, it can run stably under the situation of spikes, burrs, and harmonic voltages, without damage, and it is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified.
- Active PFC performance test
test introduction
Power modules with active PFC are sensitive to grid spikes, glitches, and harmonics, and should be thoroughly and carefully tested.
testing method
Use ac source as the input voltage source, output with half load and full load respectively, test the input current waveform and voltage waveform, and monitor the voltage after pfc at the same time; test the input voltage and current of the power grid in the case of spikes, burrs, and harmonics. Phase and amplitude relationship; measure the current and voltage of the PFC switch tube to verify the safety of the switch tube and other power devices and the ability of current to track voltage changes in the full voltage range and in the case of glitches, spikes, harmonics, etc.
judgment standard
The PFC test can be used as a reference for reliability. When serious problems occur, they should be solved in time.
- Operating voltage test
test introduction
There are various operating overvoltages in the power grid, among which the most common is no-load line closing overvoltage, which is also a great threat to the module. This test is to verify the module’s ability to resist operating overvoltage.
testing method
The simulation of the overvoltage line is very simple, the principle is as follows:
The parameter of the inductance is 10mh (for reference: in the module test method of ees, there is no grounding capacitor, the input resistance is connected in series with the inductance, the resistance value is 0 ohm, the inductance is 8mh, and the resistance is 79 ohms and the inductance is 10mh. ), the capacitance is 16.7uf, and the test waveform is as follows (not shown).
Connect the device under test to both ends of the capacitor, and at the moment of closing k, an overvoltage will be generated at both ends of the capacitor, which is used to simulate the degree of damage to the device caused by the overvoltage during the power-on process. As a limit test item, the input is connected to the l and n lines, the device to be tested is connected to both ends of the capacitor, and the machine is switched on and off frequently. For a three-phase input device, the input is connected to the l and l lines, the device under test is connected to both ends of the capacitor, the repetition frequency is 1 time/5 minutes, and the continuous test is 2 hours.
judgment standard
In the test process, if there is short-term function decline or performance degradation, but it can be automatically recovered, it is qualified; but if the performance is permanently deteriorated or requires manual intervention to recover, it is not qualified.
