5 Important Precautions

Warning: Handling devices with high voltages involves risk to life. It is imperative to comply with all respective precautions and safety regulations.

When installing the ribbon cable, make sure that power is turned off. Multi-signal values are sent along this ribbon cable, thus hot swapping may cause damage to the IC components on the board.

Microchip assumes that the gate drive board has been mounted on the SiC MOSFET prior to start-up testing. It is recommended that the user checks that the SiC MOSFET power modules are operating inside the Specified Operating Area (SOA) as specified by the module manufacturer including short circuit testing under very low load conditions.
