This doctoral thesis focuses on the problems of IGBT failure prediction in pulse converters using measurable changes of selected parameters (so--called trending variables) being influenced of transistor degradation during aging. Firstly the state--of--the--art in this field is presented in the dizertation. The description of designed and constructed automated measurement stand follows, enabling monitoring and recording of switching processes during accelerated aging. Further the problems of high--bandwidth measurement of electrical quantities during IGBT switching are described. Especially the problems of current sensing are analyzed and the most suitable sensor is selected. The data recorded using the developed apparatus served to identify potential trending variables allowing the failure prediction. Here the dependence of trending variables on aging and on parasitic influences (current, temperature, voltage) had to be distinguished. Finally the evaluation of trending variables is performed. Their insignificant sensitivity on accelerated aging is shown which complicates their practical implementation for the purpose of failure prediction.

MV Cables Failures and Malfunctions
Holuša, Martin ; Pelikán, Luděk (referee) ; Krbal, Michal (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to define cable and his accessories and describe defects and fault which can appear on the cable and his accessories. The thesis also divides the cable and his accessories into individual parts, which are describe in more detail. Diagnostic methods that can be used to detect individual faults and monitor their status on individual parts of the cable and cable accessories are also listed. The thesis's practical part focuses on the test of one component of the cable assembly using PD measurement and monitoring its surface temperature.
