In this lab, the board is excited in
open-loop fashion with a specified frequency that can be changed through the watch window. The frequency is controlled with the CLLLC_pwmPeriodRef_pu
variable. Set the load current above 1 A to avoid the unregulated output voltage in
open loop.
- Run the project by clicking
Resume button in Tool Bar
- Set the load current below 20 A
during start up
- Clear the trip by writing “1” to
the CLLLC_clearTrip variable in the watch window
- Change the CLLLC_pwmPhaseShiftPrimLegs_pu from 0.5 to 0
- Now, slowly increase the input
VPRIM DC voltage from 0 V to 400 V. Make sure CLLLC_vPrimSensed_Volts displays
the correct values in the watch window
- By default, the
CLLLC_pwmPeriodRef_pu variable is set to 0.588, as shown in Figure 1-4, which is 170 kHz. This is close to the series resonant frequency of the
converter; however, due to variation in the components on the actual hardware,
it can be lower or higher than the series resonant frequency
- The VSEC variable shows a
voltage of close to 48 V per the tank gain designed. Verify that
CLLLC_vSecSensed_Volts shows the correct voltage
- Next, test to see operation under
different frequencies (that is, above resonance, below resonance)
