An Insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is a three-terminal power semiconductor device primarily used as an electronic switch. Checking the IGBT ensures proper functioning and prevents potential failures. There are various techniques to test IGBTs, including electrical testing and thermal monitoring.
Regular inspection and maintenance of IGBTs is crucial to ensure system reliability and prevent costly downtime. Timely detection of any abnormalities or degradation in IGBT performance allows for prompt corrective actions, minimizing the risk of catastrophic failures and extending the lifespan of the device.
