Abstract
A theoretical justification of the design solutions for several additional functions of an apparatus for testing power semiconductors is proposed. These functions are the electromagnetic compatibility check of the apparatus’s parts, the passage of impact current through the device, and the provision of test safety. The occurrence pattern of conducted interferences in the test system and the minimization of the periodic voltage component by packet modulation are evaluated. Potential negative effects of the test control of power semiconductors are noted. The test safety evaluation is carried out considering several important factors, such as the pulselike essence of impact current and voltage and their short duration. Packet modulation is recommended for limiting the number of sine-wave voltage periods.
