Abstract
The fault modes, protection, and fault-tolerant topologies of voltage source inverters have been investigated for decades. However, issues and solutions related to the fault modes of current source inverters are less well understood. This paper summarizes some of the key topics relevant to a fault in current source inverters, including types of fault modes and their ramifications, post-fault protection methods, and fault- tolerant current source inverter topologies that have been presented in the literature.
