Abstract
This disclosure describes a system and method for enabling an inverter to temporarily sustain fault current. One implementation is a system that includes an inverter having a plurality of transistors. A reservoir having an outlet channel is configured to contain a compressed gas. The outlet channel is arranged to direct the compressed gas towards a heatsink in thermal communication with one or more of the plurality of transistors. A control valve can be positioned between the reservoir and the outlet channel and a controller can be configured to detect an overcurrent event in the inverter and, in response, open the control valve. A transformer is electrically connected to an output of the inverter and configured to step down voltage from the inverter to a circuit being supplied by the inverter.
