IGBTs are becoming popular due to:
Show Hint
IGBTs are popular in power electronics because of their high switching speed and high power handling capabilities.
Updated On: May 4, 2025
- High resonance voltage or current
- Low resonance voltage or current
- Low speed switching capability
- Low voltage or current handling capacity
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) are preferred for their high resonance voltage and current handling capabilities. They combine the ease of control of MOSFETs with the high current handling ability of BJTs.
Thus, the correct answer is High resonance voltage or current.
