Short-Circuit Characterization and Protection of 10-kV SiC <sc>mosfet</sc>

Power Electronics Reliability: State of the Art and Outlook

“…Much effort has been made in the short-circuit testing [27][28][29][30][31][32][33], [34] of SiC MOSFETs and its protection in power converter design [34][35][36][37][38]. In [27], comparative testing of two types of 1.2 kV/24 A SiC MOSFETs with Si MOSFET is given.…”

“…With the increasing commercial applications of SiC devices it is expected that more studies on short-circuits will be needed. At the application level, fast and robust shortcircuit protection [34][35][36][37][38] is essential to utilize the promising properties of SiC power devices without compromising the device-level design.…”

On-line fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant operation of modular multilevel converters — A comprehensive review

“…Moreover, there have been attempts to develop pure solid-state dc breakers based on high-voltage semiconductor switches, but the on-state conduction losses will be much higher [63] [64]. The recently emerging high-voltage Silicon Carbide MOSFETs, such 3.3 kV, 6.5 kV and 10 kV, may provide a feasible solution in the near future for developing solid-state breakers [65].…”
