Minimizing Failures in Power Semiconductors
Power semiconductors are a family of devices used in all types of industries mainly for AC to DC conversion and motor speed control.
When a power semiconductor fails, expensive loss of production is the immediate result. In most cases, unscheduled downtime, i.e. loss of production, due to faulty or marginal components, can be avoided by testing the power semiconductors regularly during scheduled outages. It is imperative that only instruments specifically designed for testing power semiconductors are used.
