Abstract

A high-power semiconductor module is disclosed, which can include a high-power semiconductor device mounted on the module and at least two electrical connections. The module can include a short-circuit device mounted on the module. The short-circuit device can generate a persistent electrically conducting path between the two electrical connections upon receiving a trigger signal by electrically destroying a semiconductor of the high-power semiconductor module.
