FILTER CAPACITOR DEGRADATION IDENTIFICATION USING MEASURED AND EXPECTED VOLTAGE

Methods and apparatus are presented for detecting degrading filter capacitors in motor drives or other power converters, in which an expected DC equivalent voltage and a measured DC equivalent voltage are computed according to sampled filter circuit currents and voltages, and compared to selectively...
