Id like to know how a SiC mosfet Avalanche can be tested at low (eg 50V) voltages?

Isn't the avalanche triggered by excess/over voltage? Or is the avalanche trigger voltage 'decoupled' from the 'avalanche' test?

Also why is this avalanche rating no longer listed in more recent products?

Kind regards,

Steven
