Abstract

A testing device of an inverter device includes a power supply device including an AC-DC conversion circuit for converting AC power received from an AC power supply into DC power and a control part for controlling the AC-DC conversion circuit and a filter circuit interposed between a tested inverter device to be tested and the power supply device, having a reactor and a capacitor, and delivering the DC power output from the power supply device to the tested inverter device. The control part is configured to execute output adjustment of the AC-DC conversion circuit when a test start signal is generated to start an instantaneous voltage abnormality test which is a test changing magnitude of power supply voltage of the AC power supply in a predetermined direction being either one of increase or decrease during operation of the tested inverter device and the power supply device.

Claims (17)

1. A testing device of an inverter device comprising:

a power supply device including an AC-DC conversion circuit for converting AC power received from an AC power supply into DC power and a control part for controlling the AC-DC conversion circuit; and

a filter circuit interposed between a tested inverter device to be tested and the power supply device, having a reactor and a capacitor, and delivering the DC power output from the power supply device to the tested inverter device,

wherein the control part is configured to execute output adjustment of the AC-DC conversion circuit when a test start signal is generated to start an instantaneous voltage abnormality test which is a test to change magnitude of power supply voltage of the AC power supply in a predetermined direction being either one of increase or decrease during operation of the tested inverter device and the power supply device.

2. The testing device of the inverter device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the control part is configured to control DC voltage outputted from the AC-DC conversion circuit in accordance with a control command value, and

wherein the control part includes a correction part for correcting the control command value so as to execute output adjustment in the AC-DC conversion circuit in a direction which in set in advance in relation to the predetermined direction when the test start signal is generated.

3. The testing device of the inverter device according to claim 2 , further comprising a voltmeter provided at an output end of the AC-DC conversion circuit,

wherein the AC-DC conversion circuit is a switching converter circuit for converting AC power into DC power by switching operation of a switching element,

wherein the control command value includes a target voltage command value of DC output voltage outputted from the AC-DC conversion circuit, and

wherein the control part includes

a signal converter configured to generate a switching control signal for controlling on-off of the switching element based on an input signal,

an arithmetic part for calculating difference between a measured value measured by the voltmeter and the target voltage command value, and

a feedback control part configured to adjust the input signal inputted to the signal converter so as to bring the difference calculated by the arithmetic part close to zero.

4. The testing device of the inverter device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the correction part is provided in front of the arithmetic part, and

wherein the correction part is configured to transmit to the arithmetic part a corrected target voltage command value calculated by including a correction value having predetermined magnitude into the target voltage command value.
