An induction heater circuit is a type of device used to heat conductive materials by inducing electromagnetic currents within the material. These heaters are commonly used in industrial applications for processes such as metal melting, forging, brazing, and heat treatment. They work based on the principles of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday. Induction Heater […]
The VI characteristics of IGBT is as shown in Figure. In the forward direction, they are similar to those of bipolar transistors. The only difference here is that the controlling parameter is the gate to source voltage Vgs and the parameter being controlled is the drain current. The working principle of IGBT is based on […]
An insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is a three-terminal semiconductor device it is a hybrid of MOSFET and BJT for high efficiency and fast switching. The power BJT has the advantage of low on state power dissipation, but it cannot be switched at faster rates due to longer turn-off time, whereas MOSFETs have a very high […]
