Abstract :
In this paper, the effect of different stray inductances on the performance of various combinations of different types of IGBTs and freewheeling diodes was studied. Therefore, a fast switching IGBT4 High-Speed was combined with either a SiC Schottky diode or a Si bipolar diode. It was analyzed how the switching losses are affected by the type of the freewheeling diode, the stray inductance and to what extent a faster switch and diode can be exploited in a low inductance circuit.
