PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the reliability of an inverter logic unit to prevent an accident as an examples of past railway accidents: a logic unit of an inverter cannot receive a deceleration command due to malfunction of the logic unit and maintains a previously received acceleration command; the inverter maintains acceleration, while the train is attempting to decelerate, and as a result, desired deceleration cannot be obtained, leading to an accident. SOLUTION: An inverter monitoring apparatus is installed independently of an inverter; and when malfunction of the inverter is detected, a high-speed circuit breaker, or the like, is activated to disconnect a main circuit to forcibly stop the operation of the inverter or reset the logic unit of the inverter or carry out processings such as resetting. Risks caused by malfunction of the inverter are thereby prevented. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
