What is a IGBT? How IGBTs Work? (IGBT Basic Tutorial)

In this video, I will explain the basic working logic of IGBTs, their features and where they are used. The name IGBT comes from the abbreviation of the initials of the English words Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor. It is a power electronics circuit element formed by the development of the best features of the MOSFET and BJT transistor. It appears in many areas used for switching purposes. IGBTs, which can act as TRIACs or transistors when needed, are used extensively, especially in UPSs that require high switching speed.

Another place IGBT has REVOLUTIONIZED is Welding-Machines. Instead of using large, expensive, heavy, transformers, the IGBT circuits can control the high-current needed for welding. This allows VERY good control over the welding process. (pulsed welding current)

Gives a good, basic understanding of the IGBT

[@sparkfishes]

Great introduction to IGBT. But best of is your clear diction, delivery speed and soothing accent. l am English and have a very flat almost depressive accent ...often assiatedwith low IQ by ignorant British people. It is part of my heritage and as a Radio Ham I seem to be understood world wide ... Thank you ...James H

[@davidzoller9617]

I guess I'll have to start work through your tutorials soon.

[@gerat6534]

My immediate answer was "..its a transistor that identifies as a electromagnet".

[@pearan]

More like bjt identifes as mosfet

[@ceuser2656]

That’s funny as hell😂

[@melgross]

One of the biggest areas of use he missed, is welding. Welding is the most important way to join metals. It’s used in building construction, ship building, airplane construction, automobile and truck cinstruction, tanks and other machines, and almost everything else. Virtually all modern welders are inverter designs using IGBTs. They used to use MOSFETS, but those are either obsolete, or are used in very cheap welders from China.

Thank you. Yes I did like 👍🏻this video . Very helpful indeed!

[@zoltanszunyog4257]

Another example for IGBT's is the auto industry. The EV's are running on battery which has DC. However the e-motors are using AC. Thus an inverter is needed (DC >>> AC). And the IGBT's are the key parts of the inverter.

How can we use triac bt136 for controlling fan speed in remote control circuit with capacitor supply but not transformer supply.please suggest proper circuit including zero crossing.Regards

Excellent

[@lor0the0fallen0angel]

I see IGBTs in motor control circuits in our smt machines.

[@mekkertroniker2002]

so it is a feldeffekt transistor, a transistor working by voltage not by current, hm so i think its the some like a mosfet, mosfet i also a transistor, metal oxid feldeffekt transistor

[@yisehakawurares]

Everythings 🙏

[@stuartrechter5175]

Don't forget they are also used in Welders.

[@edisukriansyah5230]

How to measure igbt and mosfet with multimeter?

[@marcelmommsen5308]

And I thought the primary drawback, compared to a MOSFET, is the voltage drop...

[@DJAYPAZ]

Should have included a transfer function graph.

[@johansvideor]

Again an almost useless video channel parroting simple facts that are available in for instance wikipedia. This video lacks important information. One disadvantage compared to BJT is that IGBT isn't suited to operation in the linear region, rather, it is almost always used as a switch (there are some rare exceptions). The die isn't suited to linear DC currents, but local hotspots are prone to appear and will destroy the transistor even at low power levels. Another application is big industrial frequency converters and inverters (up to MW sizes). They can be used in HVDC applications up to 6 kV (kilovolt) and several kA (kiloampere). Also used in HVDC transmission applications.

[@MrLescol]

I'm not convinced - igbt's seem to be over expensive.

[@nevillemills9517]

Where's the lgbt ones? Or are they/ them ones.😂😅

[@user-mhmd-ibrhm]

Great video 👍, but .... Please please please...... We are very apprehensive of anything that has GBT in its name. We use this to educate innocent children. Any chance of changing the name?😁

[@kirkkohnen5050]

Ah, no. It's an industry standard name, much like master-slave flop-flops and male and female connectors.

[@salvor1]

You need to be able to deal with the world and not be scared of a name. You do know that there are male, female, hermaphroditic and gender changer connectors. God forbid if you were a plumber and had to deal with nipples. It should be funny and nothing more.

[@user-mhmd-ibrhm]

@@kirkkohnen5050 What do you mean by male-female connections? Sounds anti GBT for me?🤔

[@beryllium1932]

Change *your* name.
