  • Abstract
    This paper presents a comparative study of switching performance using PT and NPT HVIGBT modules rated 3.3 kV from two different manufacturers. The various numerical data obtained experimentally under hard switching condition considering practical application points of view are given. The evaluation would be the basis for achieving better switching characteristics and reliability
