Benslimane, T.2015-06-292015-06-2920082008 World Congress; Detroit, MI; United States; 14 April 2008 through 17 April 2008; Code 85694https://dspace.univ-boumerdes.dz123456789/2127The faulty performance of six diodes three phase rectifier is studied under one and two simultaneous open-diodes conditions. This rectifier is feeding a resistive load. The rectifier three phases currents zero harmonic components and their maximum and minimum values are used as diagnostic indices. A knowledge algorithm is based to get information on which diode is in open-switch fault condition. This algorithm testing shows that the system could not only detect the open-switch fault, but also identify the faulty switches. Presented simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.enAutomatic DetectionDiagnostic indicesFault conditionsFaulty switchesHarmonic componentsMinimum valueOpen faultsResistive loadsThree phasisThree-phase bridge rectifierThree-phase rectifiersAlgorithmsBridge circuitsDiodesExperimentation of practical new technique for single and two simultaneous diodes open faults automatic detection and localization in six diodes three phase bridge rectifierArticle
