Abstract:Sharp voltage gradients act as a stimulus for high power IGBT modules, which can exhibit a potentially instable high frequency behaviour. In effect, they can act as a radio frequency (RF) amplifier and under certain operating conditions the interaction between the device and the control or the external circuit can cause self-sustaining oscillations or the enhancement of the unevenness in current distribution inside a power module and that can have a significant impact on the reliability of the power converter.… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
