长征五号系列运载火箭作为推动中国迈向航天强国的重要支撑与里程碑,在我国航天事业发展中占据着关键地位(Li et al,2017,Missiles Space Veh. 1-5)。作为其核心组成之一,电气系统在研制过程中开展了大量可靠性设计与验证工作。本文首先概述了长征五号运载火箭的基本特征及其电气系统的组成结构,随后系统回顾了电气系统在潜在故障工况下所采用的系统级冗余与容错设计,以及纳入可靠性体系中的安全性设计方案;同时,对相关验证要素进行了综合梳理。通过在系统层面实施系统化的冗余策略,并结合覆盖全链路的综合验证,可显著提升运载火箭的整体可靠性。该研究思路体现了以可靠性为牵引的工程理念贯穿于全生命周期研制过程之中。
Abstract
The CZ-5 series launch vehicle holds a pivotal position as one of the key enablers and milestones prop
elling China toward a powerful force in spaceflight (Li

1–5). Among its integral components
the electrical system has undergone extensive reliability design and verification exercises. Initially
this document presents an overview of the fundamental characteristics of the CZ-5 rocket and the composition of its electrical system. It further reviews the system-level redundancy and fault-tolerant designs
alongside the safety designs included within the electrical system's reliability framework during potential fault scenarios. Moreover
it consolidates the elements of the verification elements. Implementing systematic redundancy strategies at the system level
combined with comprehensive full-link verification
significantly enhances the rocket's reliability. This approach embodies the core principles of reliability-driven engineering throughout the development life cycle.
