The Importance of Short Circuit Protection in IGBT Modules
In modern power electronics, Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) modules, such as the IKW40N120H3, have become indispensable for driving high-power applications. These modules are widely used in industrial motor drives, renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and a variety of other applications where efficiency and reliability are paramount. As with any power electronic component, one of the key concerns with IGBT modules is ensuring their protection against events that could damage them, with short circuits being among the most significant threats.
