On Dynamic Effects Influencing IGBT Losses in Soft-Switching Converters
Two different dynamic effects influencing the IGBT losses in soft switching converters are demonstrated. The first one, The Dynamic tail-charge effect shows that the tail-charge is dependent not only on the absolute value of the current at turn-off but ...
