Fault detection and isolation in generator modules
A fault detection method includes, at a generator module having a generator, a rectifier connected to the generator by phase leads, and an inverter connected to the rectifier by a direct current (DC) link, receiving a measurement of voltage applied to the rectifier by the phase leads and receiving a measurement of voltage applied to the inverter by the DC link. DC link voltage balance and sequence voltages are calculated using the measurement of voltage applied to the rectifier by the phase leads and the measurement of voltage applied to the inverter by the DC link. Determination is made using the DC link voltage balance and phase sequence voltages when no fault exists in the generator module. Determination is made that a fault condition exists using the DC link voltage balance and phase sequence voltages when a fault exists in the generator module. Generator modules are also described.
