In order to ensure the reliability of SiC MOSFET application in three-level topology, it is necessary to carry out overvoltage protection and overcurrent protection. According to the overvoltage caused by short circuit, combined with the short circuit protection method, this paper proposes a method of adding a flying capacitor with a large capacitance to the Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) topology. In this way, the SiC MOSFET is not damaged when a short circuit fault occurs and can be quickly turned off to reduce the risk of overcurrent. By setting up a short-circuit test platform, it is verified that when a short-circuit fault occurs in the three-level circuit, the flying capacitor with large capacitance can protect SiC MOSFET from overvoltage, and the short-circuit protection time of SiC MOSFET is less than 2μs.
