This international standard provides a method for evaluating whether a bypass diode (BD) asmounted in the module is susceptible to thermal runaway or if there is sufficient cooling for itto survive the transition from forward bias operation to reverse bias operation withoutoverheating.This test methodology is particularly suited for testing of Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBD),which have the characteristic of increasing leakage current as a function of reverse biasvoltage at high temperature, making them more susceptible to thermal runaway.
