  • Patent number: 12395062
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a control method which can perform, although a line-to-ground fault occurs in phase 1, coordinate transformation to separate the line-to-ground fault of phase 1 without unnecessary power outage by utilizing remaining normal phases, and apply transformed space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) to the converted coordinates, and the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a method of controlling space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM), which applies zero voltage to ground-faulted phase 1 and makes an inverter operate normally with only the remaining sound phases in order to prevent unnecessary loss generated as even other sound phases are blocked when a single line-to-ground fault occurs.
