  • Abstract
    ZCS/ZVS techniques are used in order to increase frequency, reduce the weight and switching losses. Test circuits are commonly used for the characterization of devices. This work presents the characterization of IGBTs in ZVS conditions, considering parameter variations such as the current gradient, the gate voltage and the junction temperature
