Abstract:
This article aims at achieving a faster and more reliable short-circuit (SC) and overcurrent (OC) protection circuit integrated on the driver board of SiC MOSFETs. By combining classic desaturation protection methods with parasitic-inductancebased protection methods, it can achieve complementary advantages of protection circuits for SiC MOSFETs. This article firstly makes a review of present SC and OC protection methods, then raises a protection strategy with combined methods, which characteristics are mainly in the achievement of complementary advantages in response speed among different current rising rate. Finally, the feasibility of this scheme will be verified by experimental tests on a 1200V-300A SiC MOSFET power module.
