IGBTs can be damaged by overcurrent conditions such as: ground fault and line-to-line short. To prevent these from damaging the IGBT there is an overcurrent protection circuit that shuts down the transistor if such fault conditions occur.
How are these devices designed?
How can I integrate one of these devices into my IGBT driver circuit?
My IGBTs (HGTG30N60B3D) can withstand a short circuit for about 10 µs, so the device will have to have a fast response time.
The IGBTs will be used to switch 120V, to protect the overcurrent detector diodes will clamp the voltage within safe limits.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
