A real-time system for protecting and monitoring a DC/AC converter has been designed and constructed. The proposed system consists of (a) a hardware protection unit for fast reaction, load protection and inverter fail-safe operation and (b) a microcontroller unit for calculating critical parameters of the inverter operation. The control unit malfunctions have not been investigated in this study. The proposed hardware architecture and sensors form a low-cost and reliable control unit. The experimental results show that the proposed system ensures the inverter protection and fail-safe features. The proposed unit can be used to increase the reliability of any power inverter in AC motor drives, renewable energy systems, etc. or can be incorporated in any UPS system.
