Short-Circuit Detection is Possible for Power Drive Systems with Long Motor Cables

      Long motor cables add high parasitic inductive and capacitive loads to the system. These parasitics lead to reflections on the collector-emitter voltage and the collector current, which have a considerable duration due to the length of the cable. By Marc Buschkühle and Christian R.
