Q. What is the Code rule for sizing short circuit and ground fault protection for a single motor branch circuit? A. The motor branch circuit, short circuit and ground fault protective device must ...

Trench-based silicon carbide power MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors) represent a dramatic improvement in the Figure of Merit (FOM) values of power conversion switching ...

I see techs in the field get the most frustrated when they have a low-voltage short they can’t seem to locate. The challenge techs face with low voltage diagnosis is a combination of poor process and ...

Per 2014 NEC Article 100, short circuit current rating (SCCR) is defined as: “The prospective symmetrical fault current at a nominal voltage to which an apparatus or system is able to be connected ...

SiC MOSFETs are usually susceptible to damage as a result of short-circuiting events because of the fast switching speeds and low on-state resistance. 3 A team of researchers affiliated with the ...

Gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor devices must pass stringent robustness tests to survive extreme conditions with both high current and high voltage. Here, short-circuits survivability is the most ...
