| Abstract |
This paper investigates the behavior of selected Si and SiC (BD-MOS & SBD) FWD power modules during a Surge event conditions - which occur in high power converters - used for Motor Drives and grid connected power inverters. The approach used can be particularly relevant to validate the ruggedness of emerging SiC components in high power conversion systems, which is mainly triggered in order to achieve higher power densities and higher switching frequencies while retaining similar levels of Si device reliability.Experimental data and transient thermal behavior are here combined to understand the driven destruction mechanism. |
