Optically Isolated Probes for SiC Double-Pulse Testing: Typical Applications
Double-pulse testing is the best way to characterize SiC dynamic parameters, and an optically isolated probe is the best tool for measuring VGS - especially on the high-side switch, where the challenge is greatest. With today's SiC MOSFET VGS(th) typically at 2-3 V, plus fast switching and high operating voltage, spurious turn-on is a bigger risk than with Si MOSFETs and IGBTs and deserves real attention.

Onboard Converters for High-Speed Rail and EMUs: Development and Measurement
As railways deploy ever more powerful electric locomotives, improper control or operation leads to faults; prolonged fault conditions damage the traction unit, driving up repair costs and disrupting normal service.
