Abstract: A fault detection method for a multi-phase motor system applies a first duty cycle to first phase coil windings and applies a second duty cycle to second phase coil windings. The second duty cycle differs from the first duty cycle by a first difference value D1. A first current I1 is measured. A third duty cycle is applied to third phase coil windings and a fourth duty cycle is applied to the second phase coil windings. The fourth duty cycle differs from the third duty cycle by a second difference value D2. A second current I2 is measured. Line-to-line resistances R1, R2 are calculated using the difference values D1, D2, the measured currents 11, I2, and a measured DC voltage VDC. After determining a resistance difference ΔR between the line-to-line resistances R1, R2, a comparison to a first non-zero threshold T1 indicates a fault.

Abstract: A mobile application includes a motive power circuit having a power storage device and an electrical load, where the power storage device and the electrical load are selectively electrically coupled through a power bus. The application includes a power distribution unit (PDU) electrically interposed between the power storage device and the electrical load, where the PDU includes a breaker/relay positioned on one of a high side and a low side of the power storage device. The breaker/relay includes a fixed contact and a moveable contact selectively electrically coupled to the fixed contact, where the moveable contact allows power flow through the power bus when electrically coupled to the fixed contact, and prevents power flow through the power bus when not electrically coupled to the fixed contact. The breaker/relay includes an armature coupled to the moveable contact, and capable to open or close the motive power circuit.
