2. Application and Handling Instructions
2.1. General Instructions
Please provide for static discharge protection during handling. As long as the driver is not completely
assembled, the input terminals have to be short-circuited. Persons working with devices have to wear a
grounded bracelet. Any synthetic floor coverings must not be statically chargeable. Even during
transportation the input terminals have to be short-circuited using, for example, conductive rubber.
Worktables have to be grounded. The same safety requirements apply to MOSFET- and IGBT-modules.
When first operating a newly developed circuit, SEMIKRON recommends to apply low collector voltage and
load current in the beginning and to increase these values gradually, observing the turn-off behaviour of the
free-wheeling diode and the turn-off voltage spikes generated across the IGBT. An oscillographic control will
be necessary. Additionally, the case temperature of the module has to be monitored. When the circuit works
correctly under rated operation conditions, short-circuit testing may be done, starting again with low collector
voltage.
