The difficulty of open-switch fault detection in an open-winding inverter is that the at diagonally opposite position within H-bridge power cell has same characteristics. To solve this problem, paper proposes method based on (OW) five-phase fault-tolerant permanent-magnet (FPFTPM) motor drives. includes three steps: first, drives detected by monitoring component third harmonic residual stationa...

The development of power electronic converter, especially multilevel is remarkable for several decades. complex switching and increased semiconductor devices are prime reasons faults in inverters have raised question about reliability. To improve the reliability, a cost-effective solution terms fault diagnosis essential. In this context, study proposed an open circuit (OCF) technique device fiv...
