Abstract
Methods and power conversion systems in which a capacitor degradation detection system includes an adjustable gain amplifier circuit is calibrated by automatic adjustment of at least one amplifier gain to accommodate current and voltage levels of a particular filter circuit in a first mode. Capacitance values of filter capacitors are calculated according to amplified current signals and compared with an acceptable tolerance range to selectively identify a filter capacitor fault or to store calculated capacitance values as base values in an electronic memory in the first mode. During operation in a second mode with the rectifier and inverter on, the adjusted amplifier gain is used to amplify current sensor signals and/or voltage signals, and capacitance values of the filter capacitors are used to selectively identify capacitor degradation.
