2. Possible causes of the failure

It can be difficult to be certain of exactly what caused any one failure: the problem is that failures
are difficult to promote in any well-designed controller, and users are not often aware of exactly
what happened to cause the failure. Furthermore, once a MOSFET fails – it is now dud, burned
and will not work properly,
Here below are the possible causes of failure
dV/dt failure - The cause of this failure is a very high voltage, very fast transient spike (positive
or negative). If such a spike gets onto the drain of a MOSFET, it gets coupled through the
MOSFETs internal capacitance to the gate. If enough energy gets coupled, the voltage on the
gate rises above the maximum allowable level – and the MOSFET dies instantaneously.
Excess Current - if too much current passes through a MOSFET – it will fail. Exactly how it
fails will depend on how high the excess current is and for how long it flows and on the exact
circumstances at the time.
Short-circuited load - If the load is short-circuited, the current will rise and the current limit
will engage, so immediate failure will be prevented. However – some controllers are not safe
against short circuits, for if the short is sustained and is ‘too short’ – failure can eventually occur.
Defective battery – if the battery it connected with is defective, so it will result in failure of
components like such transistors.
