摘要:
Methods an apparatus are presented for identifying ground fault locations in multi-drive systems in which individual drives perform self-diagnosis for detected faults based on an identified fault signal frequency while the system drives continue operation, and a ground fault location system identifies suspected drives and individually confirms or exonerates individual drives by selective command speed adjustment while the drives remain operational within system tolerance ranges.

The present techniques include methods and systems for detecting a high resistive ground fault condition in an HRG system. Embodiments include systems and methods of measuring drive voltages and detecting voltage changes in the drive once the drive is in operation, particularly for drives operating at relatively low voltages and frequencies. In some embodiments, an integrator is utilized to detect peaks in the measured voltage changes. Relatively small ground currents are also measured to determine HRG faults. Moreover, in some embodiments, the detection of an HRG fault for one of several motor drives provide indication for the particular motor drive in fault.

The present invention relates to a protective circuit to provide over voltage protection for an ASD. The protective circuit provides the benefits of fewer components with lower power ratings than existing protective circuits. The protective circuit may be incorporated directly in the ASD for continuous protection or mounted externally and connected to the ASD under operating conditions that require the circuit. This flexibility for mounting the protective circuit allows the capacitor of the protective circuit to be sized either in relation to capacitive elements on the DC bus within the ASD or according to external capacitance observed at the output of the ASD. In addition, the circuit is only operative during an overvoltage condition allowing for power ratings lower than would be required for continuous operation.

A method is provided for detection of a ground fault in a high resistance network in a voltage source power conversion circuit comprising a power converter that converts incoming AC power to DC power applied to a DC bus and an inverter that converts DC power from the DC bus to output AC power. The method includes detecting a midpoint-to-ground voltage between a low side of the DC bus and a ground potential and detecting the presence of a ground fault in a high resistance network based upon the detected midpoint-to-ground voltage.
