Abstract

See full text

A system includes a converter for powering a synchronous electric machine to which it is connected by cables, an insulating device and a mechanism for short-circuiting phases of the machine. The system includes primary detectors for detecting an overcurrent in the converter and a securing device able to open the insulating device when receiving a primary detection signal emitted by the primary detector. The system also includes secondary detectors able to detect a short-circuit downstream from the insulating device and to emit a secondary detection signal toward the securing device, the latter actuating the closing of the mechanism for short-circuiting as long as they have already received a primary detection signal having led to the opening of the insulating device.
