Rapid advancements in wide bandgap semiconductor technologies such as Silicon Carbide and Gallium Nitride, have resulted in new energy efficiency solutions for the Electrification of Everything. However, while these developments bring higher voltages and currents, they also raise serious safety concerns. Researchers and engineers must prioritize safety when probing and testing components and circuits that output voltages as high as 5kV and currents upwards of hundreds of amps. Choosing the right probes and connector types, properly enclosing devices under test in safety fixtures with automatic safety interlocks and wearing the proper safety protective gear are essential to ensure your safety. As the world develops new high-power technologies to electrify the world, it is critical that safety measures are prioritized to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of everyone involved.
This session, presented by Tektronix, will address best practice techniques to ensure safety and improve power integrity results when probing and testing energized higher power devices and circuits. Whether you're an engineer, technician, or scientist, this session will give you practical advice and insights that you can apply immediately in your work. You'll also have a chance to ask questions and interact with our expert presenters.
