Abstract:
An apparatus includes an inverter configured to be connected to a load, a driver having an output coupled to control terminals of transistors of the inverter and a control input configured to receive control vectors and responsively apply control signals to control terminals of the inverter, a desaturation detector configured to detect desaturation of the transistors, and a controller coupled to the control input of the driver and configured to apply at least one test vector that causes the driver to turn on selected ones of the transistors for a duration sufficient for the desaturation detector to detect desaturation of at least one of the selected transistors and to enable or inhibit further operation of the inverter responsive to the desaturation detector. The load may be a motor and the controller may be configured to apply the at least one test vector responsive to a command to start the motor.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein the first test vector enables detection of a fault between the first phase and the second phase or a fault between the first phase and the third phase, and wherein the second test vector enables detection of a fault between the third phase and the second phase or a fault between the third phase and the first phase.
