- Real-time Fault Monitoring & Locking: Real-time monitoring of current, junction temperature and voltage status. It instantly turns off and locks the drive logic once faults such as overload, short-circuit and over-temperature occur, preventing fault escalation and protecting equipment safety.
- Reset & Cyclic Operation: After fault elimination and system reset, the module releases locking state and resumes normal high-frequency switching operation to adapt to continuous production, dynamic load adjustment and frequent start-stop working conditions.
