improves the classification from PC-NN by about 2.5% point. The overall<br />

classification per<strong>for</strong>mance of the proposed networks is more than 90%.<br />

A reconfiguration technique is also developed. The effects of using the developed<br />

reconfiguration technique at high modulation index are addressed. The developed<br />

fault diagnostic system is validated with experimental results. The developed fault<br />

diagnostic system requires about 6 cycles at 60 Hz to clear an open circuit and about<br />

9 cycles at 60 Hz to clear a short circuit fault. The experimental results show that<br />

the developed system per<strong>for</strong>ms satisfactorily to detect the fault type, fault location,<br />

and reconfiguration.<br />
