THEORY:

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is a three terminal device having a gate, collector and an emitter. They are widely used in medium power applications such as dc and ac motor devices, UPS systems, power supplies etc…Fig.1 shows the schematic view of an N-channel IGBT.

PROCEDURE:

Collector characteristics:

  1. Setup the circuit as per the circuit diagram.
  2. Keep the VGE at 5.5 V and vary VCE in equal steps and note down the collector current.
  3. Repeat it for various values of VGE.

Transfer characteristics:

  1. Setup the circuit as per the circuit diagram.
  2. Make VCE = 10V. Vary VGE in equal steps and note down ID.

RESULT:

The collector characteristics and transfer characteristics of IGBT are plotted.
