The diagnosis of the power electronic circuit is very intricate. One of the main reasons is that the structure of the circuit will change if the power device is not working .The thyristor is the easiest to be mangled. So diagnosing the malfunction is the most important about the diagnosis of the power electronic circuit. The paper puts forward a malfunction diagnosis of the thyristors of three-phase full-bridge controlled rectifier with BP neural network. After analyzing the output waveforms of malfunctioning circuit and training a BP neural network with the sampling data of malfunctioning waveforms, a well training BP neural network is constructed and used to diagnose the malfunction. The simulation and experiment demonstrate that this method is valid.
