To detect an over - current fault condition, the most reliable method is to connect a_____________?

Correct answer: C. Current sensor in series with IGBT

  • A. Current sensor across IGBT
  • B. Voltage sensor across IGBT
  • C. Current sensor in series with IGBT
  • D. Voltage sensor in series with IGBT

Explanation

A current sensor must be placed in series with the IGBT so that the fault current flows through it and can be measured directly. A voltage sensor across the device detects voltage stress, not over-current itself.
