Chapter 4 Troubleshooting 4-7 2 IGBT test procedures An IGBT module that has been found to be faulty can be checked by testing it on a transistor characteristics measuring device called a "transistor curve tracer (CT)." (1) Leakage current between gate and
Insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules and dc-link capacitors are important parts in the majority of power electronic converters which contribute to cost, size, and failure rate on a considerable scale. This paper presents an online condition monitoring method for both IGBT modules and dc-link capacitors of power converters …
Further, the parasitic capacitance of an IGBT increases as the chip size is larger, which leads to higher switching losses. Therefore, the turn-on losses (E on ) and turn-off losses (E off ) can ...
