Abstract
A system for controlling a solid state circuit breaker comprises a solid state power switch, and a controller for providing a gate voltage to the power switch. During turnoff of the solid state power switch, the controller reduces the gate voltage to an intermediate level for a specified time period and then reduces the gate voltage to a turnoff level.
