Abstract

A detection apparatus for unbalanced DC link capacitor voltage, the DC link provides a DC voltage and includes a plurality of capacitors coupled in series to two ends of the DC link and a plurality of balanced resistors coupled in series to two ends of the DC link and corresponding to the capacitors. The detection apparatus includes a plurality of sense resistors and a current sensor. One end of each sense resistor is coupled to a common-connected node of two capacitors, and the other end thereof is coupled to a common-connected node of two balanced resistors. The current sensor is coupled to one of the sense resistors and measures a current value of a current flowing through the sense resistor coupled to the current sensor.
