Abstract :
No generally accepted and widely adopted condition monitoring method currently exists for power electronic converters. Several failure precursors have been proposed for power electronic components. In this paper the authors investigate the requirements for a condition monitoring system for different applications and consider the applicability of previously proposed failure precursors.
