Induction motors connected with a three-phase AC system may malfunction due to reverse phase or open phase faults. Conventional overcurrent relays and overheating relays are used to prevent such accidents; however, their drawbacks include a low response speed and false operation. Therefore, in this study, a digital relay for the reverse-open phase was designed and fabricated. This relay can detect the reverse phase and open phase faults and send a trigger signal to the control circuit. The proposed relay was developed based on a microcontroller. The detection times of the reverse phase and open phase were verified as 320ms and 80ms, respectively. Compared with conventional relays that only protect the motor from one type of fault, the proposed relay can detect both, reverse phase and open phase faults. In addition, the fault detection, identification criterion, and trigger signal patterns can be modified by programming according to the requirements of users.

태양광전원이 설치된 배전선로의 단선 등으로 결상사고가 발생하는 경우, 연계용변압기의 철심형태 및 결선 방법에 따라 여러 가지 문제점이 발생할 가능성이 있다. 즉, 단선사고 발생 시 태양광전원 인버터의 단독운전 방지기능에 따라 결상을 감지하여 발전을 정지해야 하지만, 결상을 인지하지 못하고 계속 발전하는 사례가 보고되고 있으며, 연계용 변압기의 역조류 현상으로 인해 결상된 상으로 전원을 공급하여 계통에 악영향을 주는 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 하지만, 기존의 결상사고 보호계전기(Open Phase Relay, 47)는 태양광전원 연계용변압기의 결선방식과 철심형태에 따라 결상된 상에 전압이 유지될 수 있어서, 결상사고 검출이 어려워, 새로운 결상사고 검출 알고리즘이 요구되고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 전류비교방식의 개념을 이용하여, 연계용변압기 1, 2차측의 전류와 위상을 비교하여 결상사고를 검출하는 새로운 개념의 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한, 전력계통 상용해석 프로그램인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 수배전반, 저압배전선로, 부하, 연계용변압기, 태양광전원으로 구성된 배전계통과 결상사고 검출 보호장치의 모델링을 수행하고, 이를 바탕으로 결상사고 검출 보호장치를 구현한다. 상기의 모델링과 결상사고 검출 알고리즘을 바탕으로 태양광전원 연계용 변압기의 결선방식과 철심구조에 따라 결상사고 검출 보호장치의 특성을 분석한 결과, 결상 시 연계용변압기의 동작 기울기와 1차측 전류 불평형률이 보호장치의 정정 값(30[%])을 초과함에 따라 결상사고가 정확하게 검출되어, 제안한 알고리즘이 결상사고 보호방식에 유용함을 알 수 있었다.

The main cause of electrical fires are caused due to short circuit and open circuit. This is generates an instantaneous electric arc or spark accompanied with such electric faults. These arcs generate a pressed wire, contact badness, and a weakness in the wire coating etc.. This research proposes a protection circuit to prevent open-phase accident due to contact failure of electromagnetic contactor, tracking arc fault, open-phase within the three-phase electrical control panel which is the most commonly applied in the industry. The proposed circuit also alarms and cuts off of power system when electrical faults occurs. In addition, the proposed circuit is validated by various electric accident simulator.

The voltage-source inverters (VSI) supplying a motor drive are prone to open transistor faults. To address this issue in fault-tolerant drives applicable to electric vehicles, a new open transistor fault diagnosis (FD) method is presented in this paper. According to the proposed method, in order to define the FD index, the phase angle of the converter output current is estimated by a simple trigonometric function. The proposed FD method is adaptable, simple, capable of detecting multiple open switch faults and robust to load operational variations. Keeping the FD in mind as a mandatory part of the fault tolerant control algorithm, the FD block is applied to a five-phase converter supplying a multiphase fault-tolerant PM motor drive with non-sinusoidal unbalanced current waveforms. To investigate the performance of the FD technique, the fault-tolerant sliding mode control (SMC) of a five-phase brushless direct current (BLDC) motor is developed in this paper with the embedded FD block. Once the theory is explained, experimental waveforms are obtained from a five-phase BLDC motor to show the effectiveness of the proposed FD method. The FD algorithm is implemented on a field programmable gate array (FPGA).

영구자석 동기전동기의 권선 개방 고장은 권선이 끊어지거나 인버터 스위치의 고장으로 발생한다. 권선 개방 고장이 발생하면 전동기에 토크리플과 진동이 발생하게 되며, 영구자석 동기전동기를 작동기로 사용하는 항공기 등을 포함하는 운행체의 안전성에 치명적인 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 신속한 고장 검출 및 분류가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 영구자석 동기전동기의 권선 개방 고장의 검출과 고장 위치 파악을 위한 분류 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 확장칼만필터를 통해 고장을 검출 후 다중모델 필터를 통해 고장을 분류한다.

In the three-phase power system, when any one-phase or two-phases is open-phase, the unbalanced current flows and the single-phase power supplies to three-phase loads. Specially, motor coil and transformer coil receive over-current. As a result, great damage as well as electrical fire can occur to the power system. In order to improve these problems, this paper proposes that an open-phase detection device is designed by a new algorithm using electric potential difference between the resultant voltage of neutral point and ground, and a control circuit topology of open-phase protector is composed of highly efficient semiconductor devices. It improves response speed and reliability. The control algorithm circuit also operates the cut-off of a conventional residual current protective device (RCD) which flows an enforced leakage current to ground wire at open-phase accident. Furthermore, time delay circuit is added to prevent the incapable operation of open-phase protector about instantaneous open-phase not open-phase fault. The time delay circuit improves more reliability.

This paper presents a novel approach based on the loci of instantaneous symmetrical components called "Wing Shape" which requires the measurement of three input stator currents and voltages to diagnose interturn insulation faults in three phase induction motors operating under different loading conditions. In this methodology, the effect of unbalanced supply conditions, constructional imbalances and measurement errors are also investigated. The sizes of the wings determine the loading on the motor and the travel of the wings while their areas determine the degree of severity of the faults. This approach is also applied to detect open circuit faults or single phasing conditions in induction motors. In order to validate this method, experimental results are presented for a 5 hp squirrel cage induction motor. The proposed technique helps improve the reliability, efficiency, and safety of the motor system and industrial plant. It also allows maintenance to be performed in a more efficient manner, since the course of action can be determined based on the type and severity of the fault.

Inverters are considered the basic building blocks of industrial electrical drive systems that are widely used for various applications; however, the failure of electronic switches mainly affects the constancy of these inverters. For safe and reliable operation of an electrical drive system, faults in power electronic switches must be detected by an efficient system that is capable of identifying the type of faults. In this paper, an open switch fault identification technique for a three-phase inverter is presented. Single, double, and triple switching faults can be diagnosed using this method. The detection mechanism is based on stator current analysis. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) using Daubechies is performed on the Clarke transformed (-) stator current and features are extracted from the wavelets. An artificial neural network is then used for the detection and identification of faults. To prove the feasibility of this method, a Simulink model of the DWT-based feature extraction scheme using a neural network for the proposed fault detection system in a three-phase inverter with an induction motor is briefly discussed with simulation results. The simulation results show that the designed system can detect faults quite efficiently, with the ability to differentiate between single and multiple switching faults.

This paper proposes a novel diagnosis scheme using Extend Kalman Filter (EKF), especially, in subject to the open-phase faults of the inverter switches. The stator resistances of PMSM are estimated by the EKF in real time. The proposed diagnosis scheme is implemented without any extra devices. Moreover, since it uses a simple algorithm by analyzing only estimated stator resistances of each phase, the detection speed becomes fast. The feasibility of the proposed fault diagnosis scheme is proved by several simulation and experimental results.

The proposed control system is designed as a new topology which uses the potential difference between neutral point and ground(G) of three phase. And the open-phase detection system is configured to Y-wiring of three capacitance devices of the same capacity to each line of three phase power source R-S-T. This paper also designs a mobile phone application for remote alarm of open-phase fault.
