Abstract
- Dual-inverter configuration has been attracting increasing attention, especially in motor drives, for its advantages in fault tolerance, multilevel modulation effect, dc voltage utilization, etc. However, its switch fault diagnosis is difficult due to the symmetry of the two sub-inverters. A signal processing approach is proposed in this paper to detect the switch open-circuit fault occurrence and further identify the specific faulty switch, benefiting maintenance and fault-tolerant operation. In this scheme, the faulty phase and the faulty switch pair, consisting of the faulty switch and the switch on its diagonal, are identified using the stator phase currents average values. Following that, the bridge of the faulty phase is forced into a unipolar mode by artificially turning off one switch in the healthy pair continuously. Through properly controlling the duty ratios of the other switches in this bridge, the faulty switch is allowed to be further identified from the faulty pair by analyzing the behavior of the induced current in this phase. This approach is independent of either the speed or the voltage information. The effectiveness is validated through experiments on a sensorless controlled open-end winding induction motor drive.
