Thanks for your inspiring comment.

+Tony Myrén Happy to help. Thanks for the flattering comment and greetings from South Carolina. :-)

+OKEZIE OKOYE Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you have a Happy New Year.

I'm very grateful for your supportive comment.

I'm very glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful. Thanks for commenting.

Muchas gracias Sergio. Glad you found it useful. Thanks for commenting.

Dorian. Could you provide me a some parts as an example for using as a practice in the school? I just want to make sure to understadn this subject as much as I need for my students. Thanks in advance and happy new year!

Sergio Mayorga Do you mean provide a list of possible part numbers to use in your own demonstrations? Thanks for commenting.

Great, I'm really glad you found it useful.

عفوًا.

quick glance at the datasheet tells me that your toshiba transistors would probably work, but never use a SSR ( solid state relay) with dc. as for wiring you'll need to look at what you're driving it with and the pinout on the datasheet. Would need more info on what you're doing to give you more info.

+Richard Smith IGBTs are basically devices with a MOSFET front end and a BJT back end. They have the high input impedance of a MOSFET with the low saturation voltage of a BJT. They are designed primarily for high voltage, high current switching.

+Kenny Dominguez Not really sure but why but since they are using a wide connector it may be they are providing a lower impedance path to the Gate using two wires instead of one. This would allow the gate to turned on faster when necessary.

+Dorian McIntire thank you. you have a lot of interesting videos. I have subscribed and liked your video. keep the good work.

DC for testing

6 volts may work ,depending on the IGBT threshold voltage for your IGBT, but these voltages typically run higher for IGBTs than they do for MOSFETS.

+NISARGH S Yes, any type of load is fine whether its a lamp, motor or high power resistor. I just happened to have a motor handy.

+Dorian McIntire thank you soo much.. awesome video...

IGBT are also used almost exclusively in current variable frequency drives for AC motors in industry. The part number for the device used in the video is CM900DU-24NF. This is a 900 Amp, 1200 volt IGBT pulled from a 600 volt VFD. This IGBT is capable of controlling over a million watts of power!!!

Thanks

I don't know but I still use it. The battery was pulled from an emergency lighting system during a periodic routine replacement.

I recommend you study the information at the following link: www.pantechsolutions.net/powerelectronics-tutorials/introduction-of-igbt-based-single-phase-pwm-inverter

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Dorian McIntire in the Air Condicioner inverter HVAC system`s they have the complex IGBT module.... Thanks for explanation how does the work this device..

Traqn Savov this is the wiring diagram OMG its complicated, but I already know how it works :) :) patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/US20120147633A1/US20120147633A1-20120614-D00000.png

Traqn Savov This is very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, assuming you have a good 100 amp power supply that does not drop significantly when driving the motor.

How to make igbt driver??

Then i know the performance of igbt in fast switching..

@@DorianMcIntire dear i have a task for making a igbt test bench on load.. kindly help me.

Check out the document at the following link: oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/www.mornsun-power.com/uploads/pdf/201612021657150e.pdf

This video used DC but IGBT's are typically used to control AC motors.

I removed this IGBT from a variable-frequency motor drive unit. They are normally very expensive but you can usually find a good deal on Ebay Ebay www.ebay.com/itm/1-pc-PRX-IGBT-Module-CM150DU-12F-150A-600V-/181110639712?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a2b090c60 Hope you get a chance to play with one.

1. The battery voltage used is 12 volts but the device is capable of much higher voltages (1000 volts). 2. In this video I'm just using the IGBT to turn a DC motor on and off although IGBT are extensively used to create Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) for 3 Phase AC motors. 3. The video was intended to demonstrate the sensitivity and operation of the device but also a method of testing such devices. This same method can also be used to test a MOSFET. Thanks for commenting

Dorian McIntire Thanks for sharing dis video and your kind reply.

I have got vfd's on our industry, but never failed the igbts. Thanks for the demonstration.

Thanks. I know the convention but misspoke. I was looking at several IGBTs to use before the video and didn't say what I meant to say.

Dorian McIntire That's cool.
