Abstract

1,241,334. Short-circuit protection of invertors; control of A.C. motors. LICENTIA PATENT-VERWALTUNGS G.m.b.H. 8 Oct., 1968 [30 Oct., 1967], No. 47708/68. Headings H2F, H2J and H2K. By-pass thyristors T 1 , T 2 (Fig. 1) are provided to prevent damage, under fault conditions, to thyristors 1 to 6 of an inverter supplying a 3 phase load M. Assuming a fault wherein thyristors 1 and 4 are undesirably caused to conduct concurrently, a short-circuit current will flow from the D.C. input to the inverter, through a low resistance path including the thyristors 1, 4 and an interconnecting inductor L; also current will flow from smoothing capacitors C through this path. Thyristors T 1 in series with a resistor r is therefore switched on by a control circuit S t , to shunt the D.C. input and divert current from the inverter thyristors 1 and 4; then after an interval T 2 is turned on and provides a current path directly across the D.C. input. The discharge current of the capacitors, when 1 and 4 conduct, may be used to initiate the firing of T 1 , being sensed by current transformers connected to the control circuit. If the load M is a motor, then a reverse excess current may flow therefrom through reverse current diodes of the inverter and could damage the same. This is prevented by switching on thyristors 7 to 10 across the motor terminals. Due to the by-pass valve form of D.C. short-circuit protection, the current rating of the inverter thyristors may be increased if forced cooling is used. Each thyristor 1 to 6 may be replaced by four thyristors and a commutating capacitor as shown Fig. 2, two diagonally opposite thyristors only conducting at a time.
