Abstract :
The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the switching and conduction losses mechanisms in Insulated Gate Devices (IGDs) such as MOSFETs, IGBTs and MCTs in order to give a support to designers of resonant circuits in selecting the more appropriate IGDs to be used on the basis of design requirements
