Abstract

Selon un mode de réalisation, la présente invention concerne un procédé de diagnostic de défaillance qui diagnostique une défaillance d'un dispositif de conversion de puissance (1000) pour convertir la puissance provenant d'une alimentation électrique (101) vers une puissance fournie à un moteur (200) ayant des enroulements à n phases (n étant un entier supérieur ou égal à 3). Le procédé de diagnostic de défaillance comprend les étapes consistant à : déterminer la relation d'amplitude entre la somme de la tension VA1 entre les deux extrémités d'un élément de commutation côté bas de phase A d'un premier onduleur (120) et la tension VA2 entre les deux extrémités d'un élément de commutation côté bas de phase A d'un second onduleur (130) et d'une tension de saturation Vsat1 ; déterminer la relation d'amplitude entre la tension inter-phase VBC entre la phase B et la phase C et une tension de saturation Vsat2 ; et déterminer la présence ou l'absence d'une défaillance de la phase A sur la base du résultat de détermination de la relation d'amplitude entre la somme des tensions entre les deux extrémités et la tension de saturation Vsat1 et le résultat de détermination de la relation d'amplitude entre la tension inter-phase et la tension de saturation Vsat2.
