<High Voltage Precautions>
◇
Before you start operation!
This document describes only how to handle evaluation boards for
SiC MOSFETs
(
P04SCT4018KE-EVK-001, P05SCT4018KR-EVK-001
).
Please refer to the product specifications for detailed information on schematics, BOM,
layout, etc.
In order to ensure safe operation, please read this document thoroughly
before using the evaluation board!
Also, depending on the voltage used and the structure of the board,
life-threatening voltages may be generated.
Be sure to strictly observe the precautions in the box below.
<Before Use>
①
Make sure that no parts are damaged or missing, for example because the board has been dropped.
②
Make sure that no conductive objects have fallen on the board.
③
When soldering the module to the evaluation board, be careful of solder splattering.
④
Make sure that there is no condensation or water droplets on the board.
<During Energization>
⑤
Make sure that no conductive objects come into contact with the board.
⑥
During operation, even a brief accidental contact or discharge due to bringing your
hand near the board may result in serious or life-threatening injury.
Never touch the board with bare hands or bring it too close to your hand.
Also, be careful when working with conductive instruments such as tweezers or screwdrivers, as
described above.
⑦
If a higher voltage than the rated voltage is applied, the parts may explode depending on the
specification conditions such as short circuit. Also consider the danger of parts scattering.
⑧
During operation, be careful of discoloration of the board and components due to heat, liquid
leakage, etc., and condensation when evaluating at low temperature.
<After Use>
⑨
The evaluation board may contain a circuit that stores high voltage. Even if the connected power
supply circuit is disconnected, it still stores electric charge, so be sure to discharge it after use and
confirm that it is discharged before handling.
⑩
Be careful of burns, etc. caused by contact with overheated components.
This evaluation board is to be used in research and development facilities and
can only be
used by persons who are authorized to handle high voltage in each facility.
When
working with high voltages, it is recommended to install signage such as “high voltage work
underway,” to use a cover with interlocks, etc., and to wear protective goggles to ensure a
safe working environment. Please read the cautionary note on
short circuit protection
for
this board at the beginning of this document.
