[0081] The two ends of the target acquisition path are respectively connected to the output end of the current limiting protection unit and the collector of the IGBT to be tested. When the set current value is smaller, it is necessary to select an acquisition path with a larger sampling resistor value. When the set current value is larger, select an acquisition path with a smaller sampling resistor value to ensure the acquisition effect.
