Abstract: A method for simplifying short circuit failure mode (SCFM) transitions in a power electronics module. The method includes keeping at least one switch (101, 102, 103, 104) in closed position by means of a signal (109) supplied by a gate unit (110). Upon a failure of a first semiconductor chip (105) during which the failed chip enters an SCFM, the switch (102, 103, 104) is opened, wherein the gates of the second semiconductor chips (106, 107, 108) become floating. Thereby the blocking voltage of the semiconductor chips is reduced.

Abstract: A circuit comprising a power semiconductor module (200) having an improved short-circuit failure mode (SCFM) is provided. The power semiconductor module comprises at least two semiconductor devices (211-216) being arranged for transitioning into SCFM in the event of a device failure, a collector terminal for collectively connecting the collectors of the devices, and an emitter terminal for collectively connecting the emitters of the devices. The circuit further comprises means (240) for supplying, in response to one (211) of the semiconductor devices transitioning into SCFM, a high-voltage pulse to the gate of the other semiconductor device (212-216), thereby triggering a transitioning of the other device into SCFM. This is advantageous in that it leads to an improved current distribution within the module since the current is shared by more than one short-circuited device. Further, a method of a power semiconductor module is provided.

Abstract: A box (SCB1) for combining n strings or m arrays of a DC part of a PV plant comprises a plurality of n DC inputs (21, 22, 23, 24) for electrical connection to the n strings or to a plurality of m DC inputs for electrical connection to the m arrays, at least n or m DC direction sensors for detecting the direction of direct currents (I S1 , I S2 , I S4 , I R ) conducted in the n or m DC inputs (21, …, 24) and a combiner control unit (SCCU). The DC direction sensors communicate their output signals to the combiner control unit. The combiner control unit communicates a first tripping signal to first switching units associated to the DC direction sensors for opening n-1 or m-1 of the n or m pairs of first switching units in order to interrupt the direct currents (I S1 , I S2 , I S4 ) between each of n-1 or m-1 DC inputs (21, 22, 24) and the two busbars when in a remaining one (23) of the DC inputs the direct current changes from a forward (I S3 ) to a first reverse current (I R ). This allows a fast localization and removal of a faulty string or array without any remarkable interruption of the PV plant and with small-sized switching units, typically with hybrid breakers. Thus the PV plant is distinguished by a high yield rate and a high reliability and can be installed and operated in a cost-efficient manner. Furthermore for reason of the small-sized switching units the combiner box can be realized as rail arrangement with a plurality of box-shaped modules which are attached to the rail arrangement.
