    摘要: The invention relates to the self-diagnosis of a circuit for measuring the insulation resistance of a battery system, the circuit having a first switch, which connects the positive terminal of the battery system to earth via a series-connected first comparator resistor, and a second switch, which connects the negative terminal of the battery system to earth via a series-connected second comparator resistor. Current measurements are made via the closed first switch to obtain a measured first current flow and via the closed second switch to obtain a measured second current flow, wherein at any one time only one of the two switches closed, the theoretical current flow via the switches is calculated on the basis of the voltage of the battery system and the size of the comparator resistor, and the measured current flow, is compared with the associated theoretical current flow, wherein an error signal is output and/or an error action is carried out when the result of the comparison is above or below a predefined reference value range.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method and device for detecting insulation impedance of a photovoltaic inverter. The method includes: detecting, after a first path of photovoltaic input is electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter, whether a second path of photovoltaic input needs to be electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter; if the second path of photovoltaic input needs to be electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter, causing the first path of photovoltaic input to stop operating, and then detecting insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input; judging whether the insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input satisfies a preset impedance condition; and if the insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input satisfies the preset impedance condition, causing the second path of photovoltaic input to be electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter, and causing the first path of photovoltaic input and the second path of photovoltaic input to perform grid-connected operation. The present disclosure resolves the problem in the prior art that insulation detection is inaccurate when two paths of photovoltaic input are grid-connected, such that insulation impedance detection results are more accurate, thereby increasing the safety of the inverter.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for characterizing electrical components for evaluating performance in a high voltage transient protection circuit. Impedance graphs provided by manufacturers for electrical components are typically low voltage measurements that do not necessarily accurately reflect component performance at high voltages above 150 volts. It is important to characterize and understand the behavior of these components at high voltages in order to ensure the components will protect circuitry as expected. In certain embodiments, a characterization method includes obtaining time domain voltage measurements from two terminals of a device under test (DUT) as it is exposed to high voltage transients from an electrical fast transient (EFT) generator. The time domain voltage data is transformed into frequency domain voltage data using a transform algorithm, and additional analysis is performed to derive scattering parameters, impedance, and other valuable metrics for component characterization.
