Components
Frequency and voltage regulated power supply: Provides a power supply with variable frequency and voltage.
Excitation transformer: Used to adjust the voltage level, transforming the output voltage of the frequency and voltage regulated power supply to a suitable voltage level.
Reactor: Provides the necessary inductance to form a series resonance with the capacitance of the test object.
High-voltage divider: Used to measure the actual voltage value on the high-voltage side.
Control system: Includes a frequency converter controller and other control components, used to adjust frequency and voltage to ensure safe operation of the device.
Working Principle
Series resonance principle: The inductance (L) of the reactor and the capacitance (C) of the test object form a series resonant circuit. By adjusting the output frequency of the frequency converter controller, the circuit is brought into a resonant state. At this time, the voltage across the reactor and the test object will be much higher than the power supply voltage.
Resonant frequency calculation: Resonant frequency
C is the capacitance value of the test object.
Voltage boosting process: By changing the output frequency of the frequency-regulated power supply, the circuit reaches a resonant state, and then the output voltage of the frequency-regulated power supply is adjusted to achieve the required test voltage on the test object.
