| The ability to detect and mitigate a fault is critical for electrical drives and machines in applications that require high reliability. In this work, a Permanent Magnet AC drive and machine is examined and the most critical areas are analyzed for reliability. An algorithm is provided to determine the reliability of a drive and motor. Remedial designs are also consider for either mitigating a fault or producing a fault tolerant design. An analysis is performed to determine the reliability when remedial solutions are employed. |
