The data processing device is furthermore designed to analyse the measured signal (Sm) and to detect a fault on the trans-mission line based on this analysis.

Abstract

A smart converter (C) for a synchronous motor (M) comprising transistors (t1-t6) for converting DC current into AC current (i1-i3) on each phase line (P1-P3), one current sensor (IP1-IP3) per phase line and a smart control unit (U1) controlling each transistor so as to form, on each line, an overall AC voltage signal comprising a superimposition of an AC-power voltage signal with a measurement signal having a frequency at least 20 times greater than the first frequency of the power signal. The smart control unit demodulates the signals (Si1-Si3) from the current sensors in order to identify two possible angular positions of the rotor and extract, at the same time, a sign of a 2nd-order harmonic of the current from each measurement signal in order to estimate the angular position of the rotor from among the two identified possible angular positions of the rotor.
