6 FAQs about [IGBt short-circuit current in photovoltaic inverter]

What is IGBT short circuit withstand capability?

The IGBT’s short circuit withstand capability is defined as the start of the short-circuit current until the module is destroyed. Therefore, when the IGBT is short-circuited, large current is need to be cut off within the short circuit withstand capability.

What happens if a photovoltaic inverter fails?

Grid failures may cause photovoltaic inverters to generate currents (“short-circuit currents”) that are higher than the maximum allowable current generated during normal operation. For this reason, grid operators may request short-circuit current ratings from vendors in order to prepare for failure scenarios.
