3. Introduction to fault modes and their safe management

The inverter is a DC/AC converter similar to a voltage source, with low internal impedance, which does not cope well with a short-circuit situation, whether internal to the topology or external to the load or source. Figures 6 a, 6 b, 6 c and 6 d show the main critical short-circuit situations. When analyzing the criticality of fault modes,...
