Microsecond-grade hardware fault detection circuit IGBT desaturation fast shutdown (hardware response time ＜ 2μs) Instant primary DC-link power loop overcurrent detection and drive interlock cut-off Real-time loss monitoring of ±18V isolated gate drive power supply Multi-channel NTC thermistor input for real-time power module temperature monitoring Independent hardware interlock blocking output Once any dangerous power device fault is triggered, the board immediately locks all gate drive outputs and sends hardware-level blocking pulse to master CPU; protection action works completely independent of software algorithm to avoid permanent burnout of expensive IGBT power modules under short-circuit faults. Fault latch & status upload mechanism All transient and steady abnormal fault states are hardware latched; fault codes, channel enable status and temperature alarm signals are transmitted to traction master CPU through proprietary rack backplane bus for permanent fault storage and vehicle diagnostic reporting via TCMS gateway board. Internal Rack Communication High-speed dedicated backplane bus for bidirectional real-time data interaction with traction master CPU: receive synchronized PWM drive modulation instructions; upload drive enable status, IGBT fault flags and power module temperature alarm data.
