Paralleled SiC MOSFETs Circuit Breaker With a SiC MPS Diode for Avalanche Voltage Clamping

This paper proposes a solid-state circuit breaker comprising silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and a SiC diode, based on the principle of avalanche voltage clamping. The key challenge in realizing a solid-state circuit breaker lies in reducing conduction loss. A parallel connection of power semiconducto...
