  • Abstract
    The passive turn-on of IGBTs occurs in Matrix converter applications. This paper analyzes different IGBT-types in terms of passive turn-on. Measurements of passive turn-ons of different IGBT-types are shown and compared with diode turn-ons. The dependency of the turn-on voltage peak on the temperature, the gate resistance and the current is investigated. The results are analyzed by numerical device simulations.
