Abstract:This paper addresses the overvoltage protection design and reliability enhancement for the CZ-6 launch vehicle’s auxiliary system temperature test bench, following field failures caused by the accidental intrusion of 28V high voltage, which burned out the core analog-to-digital converter (ADS1220) and disabled measurement channels. Through fault recurrence and mechanism analysis, the study first identified a design gap in protecting the input ports against abnormal voltages in the original scheme. Two engineering-feasible overvoltage protection solutions are proposed. The first is a clamping and limiting solution based on ultra-low leakage Schottky diodes, which employs a passive protection circuit at the signal front-end to forcibly clamp abnormal input voltages within a safe range of -0.4V to 3.7V. The second is an intrinsically safe solution based on high-withstand-voltage components, reconstructing the signal conditioning chain with a constant current source (LM134, 40V rating) and an instrumentation amplifier (INA188, 36V rating). Detailed theoretical analysis and experimental validation were conducted on the protection mechanisms, circuit design, and their impacts on system measurement accuracy, linearity, and stability. Results show that Solution #1 can be implemented rapidly and at low cost, effectively protecting against high-voltage transients, but introduces a measurement error of approximately ±0.35K (still meeting the ≤±0.5K specification) and a linearity degradation to 0.2%. Solution #2 can withstand high-voltage intrusion while maintaining superior measurement performance (error ≤±0.18K, linearity 0.05%), achieving non-destructive self-recovery. Guided by the principle of "targeted strategies and defense-in-depth," this paper further formulates a modular rapid repair strategy for in-service equipment based on Solution #1, and a systematic design improvement guideline for new models, advocating Solution #2 as the core architecture integrated with multi-level protection. Comprehensive reliability enhancement measures covering design review, process control, test validation, and operational maintenance are also proposed. This research not only resolves a specific failure but also provides a complete set of theoretical methods and technical pathways—from fault analysis and solution design to engineering practice—for aerospace ground test equipment to mitigate risks from complex electromagnetic environments and human operational errors.
