In this work, transient characteristics of the Non-Punch Through(NPT) Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor(IGBT) has been studied. we has analyzed with lifetimes excess minority carrier injected into N-dirft, base region of IGBT's BJT part and accumulated charge of on-state which affected swiching characteristic. In this paper, excess minority carrier and charge distribution in active base region is expressed analytically. This analysis proposed optical trade-off between lifetimes and accumulated charge for decreasing switching losses because charge result in switching loss when device was tuned off.

In this paper, transient characteristics of the Punch Through Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (PT-IGBT) have been studied. On the contrary to Non-Punch Through Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor(NPT-IGBT), it has a buffer layer and reduces switching power loss. It has a simple drive circuit controlled by the gate voltage of the MOSFET and low on-state resistance of the bipolar junction transistor. The transient characteristics of the PT-IGBT have been analyzed analytically. Excess minority carrier and charge distribution in active base region, the rate of anode voltage with time are expressed analytically by adding the influence of buffer layer. The experimental data is obtained from manufacturer. The theoretical predictions of the analysis have been compared with the experimental data obtained from the measurement of a device(600 V, 15 A) and show good agreement.

The IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) is a power semiconductor device that has gained acceptance among power electronic circuit design engineers for motor drive and Power converter applications. The device-circuit interaction of power insulated gate bipolar transistor for a series-inductor load, both with and without a snubber are, simulated. An analytical model for the transient operation of the IGBT is used in conjunction with the load circuit state equations for the simulations.

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor(IGBTs) are widely used in power device industry. However, to improve the breakdown voltage, IGBTs are suffered from increasing on-state voltage drop due to structural design. In this paper, the new structure is proposed to solve this problem. The proposed structure has double p-floating layer inserted in n-drift layer. The p-floating layers improve the breakdown voltage compared to conventional IGBT without change of other electrical characteristics such as on-state voltage drop and threshold voltage. this is because the p-floating layers expand electric field distribution at blocking state. A electrical characteristic of proposed structure is analyzed by using simulators such as TSUPREM and MEDICI. As a result, on-state voltage drop and threshold voltage are same to a conventional TIGBT, but breakdown voltage is improved to 16%.

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors(IGBTs) have received wide attention because of their high current conduction and good switching characteristics. To reduce the power loss of IGBT, the onstate voltage drop should be lowered and the switching time should be shortened. However, there is trade-off between the breakdown voltage and the on-state voltage drop. The FLoatingIsland(FLI) structure can lower the on-state voltage drop without reducing breakdown voltage. In this paper, The FLI IGBT shows an on-state voltage drop that is 22.5% lower than the conventional IGBT, even though the breakdown voltages of each IGBT are almost identical.

This paper deals with a novel solid state controller (NSSC) for parallel operated isolated asynchronous generators (IAG) feeding 3-phase 4-wire loads in constant power applications, such as uncontrolled pico hydro turbines. AC capacitor banks are used to meet the reactive power requirement of asynchronous generators. The proposed NSSC is realized using a set of IGBTs (Insulated gate bipolar junction transistors) based current controlled 4-leg voltage source converter (CC-VSC) and a DC chopper at its DC bus, which keeps the generated voltage and frequency constant in spite of changes in consumer loads. The complete system is modeled in MATLAB along with simulink and PSB (power system block set) toolboxes. The simulated results are presented to demonstrate the capability of isolated generating system consisting of NSSC and parallel operated asynchronous generators driven by uncontrolled pico hydro turbines and feeding 3-phase 4-wire loads.

This paper was researched about 1,200 V level floating island IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor). Presently, 1,200 V level IGBT is used in Inverter for distributed power generation. We analyzed and compared electrical charateristics of the proposed floating island IGBT and conventional IGBT. For analyzing and comparison, we used T-CAD tool and simulated the electrical charateristics of the devices. And we extracted optimal design and process parameter of the devices. As a result of experiments, we obtained 1,456 V and 1,459 V of breakdown voltages, respectively. And we obatined 4.06 V and 4.09 V of threshold voltages, respectively. On the other hand, on-state voltage drop of floating island IGBT was 3.75 V. but on-state vlotage drop of the conventional IGBT was 4.65 V. Therefore, we almost knew that the proposed floating island IGBT was superior than the conventional IGBT in terms of power dissipation.

$SF_6$ has been widely used in high voltage power equipment, such as gas insulated switchgear (GIS) and gas insulated transmission line (GIL), because of its excellent insulation and arc extinguishing performance. However, $SF_6$ faces two environmental problems: greenhouse effect and high liquefaction temperature. Therefore, to find the $SF_6$ substitute gases has become a research hotspot in recent years. In this paper, the liquefaction characteristics of $SF_6$ substitute gases were studied. Peng-Robinson equation of state with the van der Waals mixing rule (PR-vdW model) was used to calculate the dew point temperature of the binary gas mixtures, with $SF_6$, $C_3F_8$, $c-C_4F_8$, $CF_3I$ or $C_4F_7N$ as the insulating gas and $N_2$ or $CO_2$ as the buffer gas. The sequence of the dew point temperatures of the binary gas mixtures under the same pressure and composition ratio was obtained. $SF_6/N_2$ < $SF_6/CO_2$ < $C_3F_8/N_2$ < $C_3F_8/CO_2$ < $CF_3I/N_2$ < $CF_3I/CO_2$ < $c-C_4F_8/N_2$ < $C_4F_7N/N_2$ < $c-C_4F_8/CO_2$ < $C_4F_7N/CO_2$. $SF_6/N_2$ gas mixture showed the best temperature adaptability and $C_4F_7N/CO_2$ gas mixture showed the worst temperature adaptability. Furthermore, the dew point temperatures of the $SF_6$ substitute gases at different pressures and the upper limits of the insulating gas mole fraction at $-30^{\circ}C$, $-20^{\circ}C$ and $-10^{\circ}C$ were obtained. The results would supply sufficient data support for GIS/GIL operators and researchers.

We meet with the fact that a majority of electric machinery have been insulated to the state of solids & liquids or solids & gases, that is, with compound dielectrics. And also we can find voids caused by undesirbble structure, long-used material and so on. When it is discharged in a void or in the parts of gases of insulating material, the insulation of the machinery is gradually and finally destroyed through the effect of ozone, nitrogen-oxide, electronic pulses and so on. So we maybe conculded that it is necessary and important to detected void pulse and void corona in order to prevent sudden break down of electric machinery.
