The time a power device can survive a short circuit, such as both inverter switches turning on at once, without being destroyed. Protection circuits must cut the current within this time.
Field: Power semiconductors
Short-circuit withstand time is how long a device survives the large current of a shoot-through or load short—typically about 10 µs for silicon IGBTs.
