Abstract

The present invention relates to a common mode noise simulator, and more particularly, to a common mode noise simulator which removes a high-frequency component by controlling impedance of an inductor, a capacitor, and a resistor and evaluates insulation performance of a battery by measuring leakage current of the battery depending on amplitude-modulated common mode noise.

Claims (16)

1. A common mode noise simulator comprising:

a high frequency removing unit removing a high-frequency component of common mode noise (CMN) induced from a power conversion system (PCS) controlling charging/discharging a battery and a ground;

an amplitude modulating unit modulating an amplitude of the common mode noise; and

an insulation evaluating unit evaluating insulation performance of the battery based on waveform information of the common mode noise which is induced to the battery as the high-frequency component is removed through the high frequency removing unit, the amplitude is modulated through the amplitude modulating unit and waveform information of leakage current of the battery,

wherein the high frequency removing unit includes:

a first inductor connected between an anode terminal of the battery and an anode terminal of the power conversion device,

a first capacitor connected between the anode terminal of the power conversion device and the ground,

a second inductor connected between a cathode terminal of the battery and a cathode terminal of the power conversion device, and

a second capacitor connected between the cathode terminal of the power conversion device and the ground, and

wherein the common mode noise simulator further comprises a control unit controlling impedance of at least one of the first inductor, the second inductor, the first capacitor, and the second capacitor to set a range of the high-frequency component removed from the common mode noise.

2. The common mode noise simulator of claim 1 , wherein the amplitude modulating unit includes a first resistor connected between the anode terminal of the power conversion device and the ground.

3. The common mode noise simulator of claim 2 , wherein the amplitude modulating unit further includes a second resistor connected between the cathode terminal of the power conversion device and the ground.

4. The common mode noise simulator of claim 3 , wherein the control unit controls the impedance of at least one of the first resistor and the second resistor to set an amplitude modulation range of the common mode noise.

5. The common mode noise simulator of claim 4 , wherein the insulation evaluating unit compares a current value of the leakage current and a predetermined current value corresponding to waveform information of the common mode noise induced to the battery and determines that the insulation performance of the battery is excellent when the current value of the leakage current is equal to or less than the predetermined current value.

6. The common mode noise simulator of claim 1 , further comprising:

a current measuring unit measuring the leakage current of the battery.
