4.3.4 Overcurrent Protection Test

This test can be done with an external 15VDC power supply. Use the following steps for this test:

  1. Power on the board with an external 15VDC power supply from DC Jack J7
  2. Connect a DC power supply to two terminals of shunt resistor R67
  3. Set the DC power supply at constant voltage mode, and maximum current
  4. Enable output, then a surge output current flows through R67.
  5. Adjust the power supply voltage and current output
  6. Make sure the surge current is high enough (> 6.5ADC) to trigger OCP.

Figure 4-14 shows the FAULT signal falls once current is over 6A. The falling time is less than 2μs, which can be fast enough to protect most of IGBT.

  • CH1 (Blue): Fault signal at test point of #FAULT
  • CH4 (Green): Current on R67
