The electrically isolated auxiliary power is generated with an integrated HF transformer that takes its power from a central si juare vave supply unit. Com ‘mand and status feedback signals are transmit- ted over optical fibers. All protection functions for the IGBT and the static converter are inte- grated in the Gate Driver and have been tested for all significant worst-case conditions. A logic circuit monitors the incoming sigeals to ensure that the pulse length at the output is not shorter than allowed, The same logic circuit also monitors the internal power supply and the sta- tus of the output stage. In the event of a fault the Gate Driv tums the IGBT off and send: fault signal 1 the fiber optic link, Also monitored is the collector-emitter voltage. Should the collector-emitter saturation voltage of the IGBT exceed a given value in the on- state, ‘soft’ turn-off of the IGBT will occur. This special feature also allows a DC link short-circuit to be cleared without damage. In such a case fault signal is also sent via the fiber optic link:
