CM600DU-24FA IGBT – Removal of RTC over-current protection

The real-time current control (RTC) that can found in some IGBT modules is a protection against short circuits in f.ex. motor drives where they could have been used. The conditions on which the RTC acts is however sharing area with using IGBT bricks in Tesla coils, as the RTC will never interact while operating the
