In a direct AC/AC converter, fault protection is performed with a minimal number of fault detecting devices and the rating of such fault detecting devices is reduced while still being able to respond quickly to a fault current. This is achieved by using a current sensor in common to at least all the current lines of one group of switches and by combining the operation of such common current sensor with the operation of one current sensor associated with the related output phase line. In another embodiment, all the current lines connected to a switch, for all the groups of switches, are passed through a common and single current sensor.
