A traction drive control system (TDCS) plays an important role in safety running of high-speed trains. This paper presents a new fault-injection strategy for safety testing and fault diagnosis verification in the TDCS. First, the fault scenarios on the signal level of each faulty component are analyzed. Then, the fault-injection method based on signal conditioning is proposed, and the injected signal, reflecting the fault scenario at a fault point, is generated to simulate the fault scenarios. Subsequently, the injected signal benchmark is constructed for all faults in traction converters, traction motors, sensors, and traction control units. Finally, a fault-injection benchmark platform is developed to simulate various fault scenarios in the TDCS. The simulation and comparison results show that the presented strategy is effective and easy to implement.
