 Author(s)   Brian A. Welchko, Thomas M. Jahns, Thomas A. Lipo 
 Abstract   This paper investigates methods to interrupt the phase currents induced when interior PM (IPM) motor drives suffer short-circuit or uncontrolled generator mode faults. A fault-tolerant silicon switch is proposed in which the antiparallel diode in a reverse-blocking IGBT is replaced in by an SCR. A reduced parts count fault interrupting topology is also proposed which consists of delta-connected thyristors inserted into the center of a wye-connected IPM motor stator. Control of the proposed reduced parts count fault-tolerant drive is covered and simulation results are presented to verify operation of the proposed topology.
