3-phase IGBT-inverter
The saturation voltage is the voltage drop across the collector-emitter of the IGBT, similar to a diode. This drop results from the resistance
The power stage, which can be single or three-phase type transforms the ac input into a dc bus voltage and then feeds the inverter with isolation.

The saturation voltage is the voltage drop across the collector-emitter of the IGBT, similar to a diode. This drop results from the resistance
Because the IGBT is a voltage-controlled device, it only requires a small voltage on the Gate to maintain conduction through the device unlike BJT''s which require
These control signals are usually the outputs of a MCU and are at low voltage levels such as 3.3 V or 5 V. The gate controls required by the IGBTs are in the range of 15 to 20 V and need high current
An IGBT is a special type of power transistor used to control very high voltages and currents. It is the heart of electric vehicles, solar inverters,
This voltage is a function of collector current (IC) gate-emitter voltage (VGE) and junction temperature (TJ) and so it is specified at the rated IC, VGE = 15 V and TJ = 25 °C, 125 °C and 175 °C.
When a positive voltage is applied to the gate terminal, the IGBT turns on and allows current to flow from collector to emitter. Removing that voltage turns it off.
IGBT differ from BJT in that they are voltage-controlled devices requiring only a small gate voltage, VGE, to regulate collector current, IC.
