Abstract
Aspects of the invention are directed to a protection control system of the invention is a protection control system for a multilevel power conversion circuit of a flying capacitor type, the power conversion circuit including six semiconductor switches of first through sixth semiconductor switches sequentially connected in series from a positive terminal to a negative terminal of a DC power supply, a first capacitor connected between the connection point of the second and third semiconductor switches and the connection point of the fourth and fifth semiconductor switches and a second capacitor connected between the connection point of the first and second semiconductor switches and the connection point of the fifth and sixth semiconductor switches, wherein the protection control system of the invention turns ON the second semiconductor switch or maintains the second semiconductor switch in an ON state, in the case of short-circuit fault of the third semiconductor switch.
