  • Patent number: 11402194
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a safety pipe loop and method for strain monitoring of mountainous pipelines. The safety pipe loop may include a plurality of magnetic test detectors and a protective shell for protecting the plurality of magnetic test detectors. The number of the plurality of magnetic test detectors may be set to 4n, n is an integer number greater than or equal to 1. An angle between any two adjacent detectors of the plurality of magnetic test detectors may be 180°/2n. At least two of the plurality of magnetic test detectors may be connected in parallel through a data transmission line and output data through a data transmission interface. An outer layer of the protective shell may include non-magnetic hard alloy, and an inner layer of the protective shell may include non-metallic materials.

  • Patent number: 11249129
    Abstract: Disclosed are an IGBT-module condition monitoring equipment and method. The IGBT-module condition monitoring equipment includes an IGBT module, a gate turning-on voltage overshoot monitoring module, a driving circuit, a bond wire state judging module, and a signal acquisition module. The breakage condition of bond wires is obtained by comparing a monitored actual gate turning-on voltage overshoot with a preset reference gate turning-on voltage overshoot threshold. The present invention solves the problem encountered in monitoring the aging of IGBT bond wires in power electronic converters.

  • Patent number: 11169199
    Abstract: A method and device for online insulation monitoring of a motor are applied to an inverter-driven motor system. The method includes: measuring phase-to-ground voltages of three-phase inlet lead ends of a motor; acquiring leakage currents of the three-phase inlet lead ends of the motor; acquiring a voltage common-mode component, a voltage differential-mode component, a current common-mode component and a current differential-mode component from the phase-to-ground voltages and the leakage currents; and acquiring ground-wall insulation equivalent capacitance and phase-to-phase insulation equivalent capacitance according to the components. A ground-wall insulation monitoring result and a phase-to-phase insulation monitoring result are distinguished from each other by the acquired ground-wall insulation equivalent capacitance and phase-to-phase insulation equivalent capacitance, such that two kinds of insulation are monitored respectively.
