Analysis of impact resistance characteristics of rectifying device in integrated power system

[Objectives] Integrated power systems represent the current direction in ship power development,the rectifying device is an important part of the system, and its impact resistance will direcily affect its operation performance.[Methods] The finite element model of a certain electrical cabinet with nonlinear vibration isolation parameters is established,and the impact responses of the cabinet under elastic and rigid installation conditions are contrasted. A type of rectifier is specially designed for the rigid installation and a hydraulic double wave shock machine is used to carry out the impact test in an electrified state.[Results] The simulation results show that the maximum stress response of the equipment under rigid installation is close to 355 MPa;slight plastic deformation may occur but not cause damage,while the same part of the elastic installation far exceeds the stress yield limit. The hydraulic double-wave impact test shows that the limit load of the air switch is less than 3.2 m/s,and the other components can work normally when the impact spectrum velocity is 4.8 m/s.[Conclusions] The findings in this paper show that the electrical and electronic components possess high impact resistance,and welded or screwed components do not become detached, while the weak links under impact conditions are generally buckle-type fixed and air switches with mechanical action components.
