19.11.2 g) failure of an electronic power switching device in a partial turn-on mode with loss of gate (base) control. During this test, winding temperatures shall no exceed the values give in 19.7.
NOTE 3 This mode may be simulated by disconnecting the electronic power switching device gate (base) terminal and connecting an external adjustable power supply between the gate (base ) terminal and the source (emitter) terminal of the electronic power switching device. The power supply is then varied so as to achieve a current that will not damage the electronic power switching device but give the most onerous conditions of test.
