Abstract

A method for identifying an inverter short circuit between two phases includes measuring AC current values of three phases. Values of a temporal current change are also identified based on the measured AC current values. A short circuit between two phases is then assumed if, in one phase at DC+ and one phase at DC−, the current rises more quickly or falls more quickly than a predetermined threshold value. In order to check this assumption, it is identified whether the value of the identified rise in a first phase possibly affected by the short circuit corresponds to the value of the identified fall in a second phase possibly affected by the short circuit. In the event that the assumption has been positively confirmed, it is also checked whether a current sum of the phases is still unchanged. A short circuit is established when the two checks have proven positive.
