Abstract: This paper proposes a novel switch open-circuit (O.C.) fault detection and fault-tolerant method for cascaded cross-switched inverters (CCSIs). Although CCSIs offer the advantage of ...
Abstract: Fault tolerance is a highly desirable feature for safety-critical electric drive applications. This paper proposes an open-circuit fault tolerant model predictive controller (FT-MPC) for ...
BGE reviews several alternatives for a battery open-circuit monitoring device to protect from a dc supply single point of failure. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued Order 867 on Jan. 23, ...
Thermocouples and their leads often have to detect open-circuit or short-circuit faults. However, it is very difficult to distinguish a valid millivolt temperature signal from an open/short-circuited ...
Omron has introduced EtherNet/IP Remote I/O blocks with both short- and open-circuit detection to reduce troubleshooting time and maintain productivity. The ERT1 series EtherNet/IP slave I/O blocks ...
What is a desaturation detection circuit? A desaturation fault detection circuit provides protection for power semiconductor switches (IGBT or MOSFETs) against short-circuit current events which may ...
In order to continuously improve the transparency of power distribution grids, it is important to have precise knowledge about the relevant conditions in the local grid. This is achieved by utilizing ...
The National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) have become more stringent with each passing Code cycle, stirring up much discussion and debate among ...
