← TechnologyWhich consequence results when thermal runaway occurs in multiple silicon carbide MOSFETs during short-circuit events in a solid-state circuit breaker?
A)Cascaded breaker system failure✓
B)Decreased switching gate frequency
C)Improved energy conversion capacity
D)Enhanced electromagnetic interference rejection
💡 Explanation
A cascaded breaker system failure arises because thermal runaway increases MOSFET temperature, leading to decreased resistance and increased current, triggering other MOSFET failures; therefore a complete system collapse, rather than isolated performance degradation, occurs.
