What is “short-circuit withstand capability”?

Written by

in

In the case of excess current due to an accident or abnormal operation of an inverter device, the time from the start of the short-circuit current until the IGBT breakdown is called the short-circuit withstand capability. The protection circuit has to be designed to detect excess current in a short time not exceeding the short-circuit time and to turn off the gate pulse.
