Abstract
This paper aims to introduce a solid-state fault isolation device (FID) for the short circuit protection application in the power distribution systems. The key performance of a FID is to have a low on-state loss and a strong short circuit safe operating area (SCSOA). As a FID, a novel 15kV 4H-SiC field controlled diode (FCD) with a p+buried layer is proposed to provide an improved trade-off between the on-state forward voltage drop and the saturation current. Dynamic response to the fault and the application example of the proposed FCD are described in this paper.
