Abstract
A new optimization strategy for driver circuits in high power-high voltage IGBTs is proposed. Main features of such an approach are the reduction of the switching losses and active control of the device overvoltage. To confirm the proposed approach, an auxiliary circuit has been realized and used to equip an industrial driver, then experimental tests have been carried out
