Abstract: The purpose of this paper is the study of fault tolerant control with pulse large modulation (PWM) AC-DC-AC converter for supplying a three-phase rotor field oriented induction motor. The back to back converter is supplied with three-phase network and composed of a PWM rectifier and a voltage source inverter. Fault tolerant topology of AC-DC-AC converter with redundancy have been studied and associated with affective and fast method of fault detection and compensation to guarantee the continuity of service, in the presence of an open circuit failure possibility on the level of one of their legs. Although of the presence of open circuit on the level of the converter legs, the obtained simulation results show that the proposed method has the ability to maintain the good performance of the drive.

Keywords: asynchrouns machine; sigma-delta PWM; three-phase AC-DC-AC converter; converter with redundant leg; service continuity; field oriented control.
