Where Are IGBTs Used?

The next question is, what applications are IGBTs used in? As mentioned in the last slide, these are high-voltage and high-current capable devices, proving them to be great in high-power applications. As such, IGBTs are used in many high-power applications such as power conversion for commercial renewables and motor control for automobiles and industrial equipment. The power levels of the applications where one will find IGBTs ranges from a couple thousand kilowatts into the megawatt range. As for the switching frequency, IGBTs tend to be used for slightly lower switching frequencies as compared to silicon or the newer silicon carbide MOSFETs. This is typically on the order of a couple thousand kilohertz up to about 100 kHz.
