Fault detection in a three-phase dab converter

Abstract

A system and method of fault detection based on a detailed waveform analysis is presented for transient and steady-state fault operation of 3-Φ DAB converter. Main symptoms of the converter during normal and fault conditions have been identified and a unique pattern in DC bias of phase currents under fault mode is noted. The logic-based fault diagnosis scheme is used to detect the fault and identify the faulty transistor.
