Detecting shorted diodes |
摘要 |
A method, a controller unit for a bridge rectifier, and a bridge rectifier system are disclosed for detecting a shorted diode in a bridge rectifier. The method can include determining a phase-to-phase voltage between two phase inputs of the bridge rectifier, wherein a phase input is provided between the two series connected diodes of the respective phase, and indicating a shorted diode fault by determining whether the phase-to-phase voltage is zero for more than a commutation time of the bridge rectifier. |

1. A method for detecting a shorted diode in a bridge rectifier having two series-connected diodes for each phase of the bridge rectifier, the method comprising:
determining a phase-to-phase voltage (Vab, Vbc, Vca) between two phase inputs of the bridge rectifier; providing a phase input between the two series-connected diodes of each respective phase; determining whether the phase-to-phase voltage is zero for more than a commutation time of the bridge rectifier; and indicating a shorted diode fault when the phase-to-phase voltage is zero for more than the commutation time of the bridge rectifier. |
