The Reliability Analysis of High Power Switches Composed of Series and Parallel Branches
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper contains an analytical method for the failure analysis of a matrix configuration of switches in series and parallel. The concept is to use lower voltage and current rating switches in series and parallel to attain the higher ratings needed in power engineering applications. The analysis is based on probability state transition. A discussion of voltage and current snubbing is given. Representative results are illustrated and applications are suggested.
