An active current injection network for a three-phase diode rectifier is proposed. Current injection is done by using two networks: injection network and injection device. The injection network composed by a half-bridge inverter operating at high frequency and injection device is composed by three bi directional switches operating at low frequency. It also uses one inductor in order to get the ...

A data collection method which uses Walsh functions as injection current patterns is presented. This method can satisfy two conditions: the optimality of current patterns in every iteration and the single-time data measurement condition. The use of Walsh functions simplifies the design of current sources since only two levels of current (+1 and -1) are required, whereas sinusoidal injection req...

In this article, an innovative supervision system will be proposed that can observe and analyze health of Circuit Breaker’s trip coil. The proposed design also logs changes in the coil's quality and informs network supervisor in case of Circuit Breaker (CB) failure. This system injects small direct currents to the Circuit Breaker connections and the trip coil to compute CB’s health and characte...
