Voltage Limitations of Power Semiconductor Devices in Solid-State Transformers (SST)

One of the core challenges of solid-state transformers (SST) is that the voltage withstand capability of individual power semiconductor devices is far from sufficient to directly handle the voltage levels of medium-voltage distribution networks (such as 10kV). Addressing this voltage limitation is not reliant on a single technology, but rather a set of “combinations“. The … Read more

Detailed Explanation of PCB Voltage Withstanding Design

Voltage withstanding refers to the maximum voltage that a PCB can withstand under specified conditions without experiencing breakdown. Breakdown occurs when the voltage exceeds a certain limit, causing the insulating material of the PCB to lose its insulating properties, resulting in a sudden increase in current and circuit failure. Voltage withstand control is a key … Read more
