IGBT

An Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is a device used to control and switch electrical power efficiently. It combines features of both MOSFETs (fast switching) and bipolar transistors (high current capacity), enabling it to handle large amounts of electricity with minimal energy loss. IGBTs are commonly found in applications like motor drives, electric vehicles, and power inverters, allowing precise control of electrical power flow. They turn on and off quickly, making them essential for managing high-voltage and high-current environments in modern electrical systems.
