With the commercial availability of SiC power transistors, this decade will mark an important breakthrough in power transistor technology. However, in power electronic systems, disturbances may place them in short-circuit condition and little knowledge exist about their SC capability. This paper presents our study of SiC MOSFETs, JFETs and BJT under capacitive load short-circuit up to 600V.
