ABSTRACT:
Shortcircuit in an arm including a series connection of GTO's and reactors of an inverter is detected by sensing a voltage across the reactor. In one method, the shortcircuit in the arm is detected when voltages are coincidently applied to a P-line arm reactor and an N-line arm reactor for a predetermined time period. In another method, it is detected when an integrated value of a voltage across at least one of the reactors exceeds a predetermined level.
