This paper addresses problems related to the design and implementation of a fault detection and protection system for high-voltage (HV) NPT IGBT-based converters. An isolated half-bridge power converter topology is investigated, which seems to be very attractive for the high-power electronic converters due to its overall simplicity, small component count and low realization costs. This converter is to be applied in rolling stock with its demanding reliability and safety requirements. Clearly, the robust control and protection system is essential.
