ABSTRACT:
In order to be acceptable for safety critical applications, it is necessary for an electrical machine to allow continued operation despite an electrical short circuit in one of the operational phases of that electrical machine. It will be appreciated that an electrical short circuit creates excessive electrical current through the short circuit with significant heating and other detrimental effects. However, the electrical machine can operate with one operational phase disabled. In such circumstances, the present invention incorporates means for determining an electrical short circuit has occurred and then injects an electrical current approximately equal to or greater than the rated electrical current. In such circumstances, the operational phase or coil4, 24, 34is effectively protected despite the electrical short circuit and hence the electrical machine can continue to operate.
