Electronic power component e.g. insulated gate bipolar transistor, controlling method, involves running piloting procedure on component if component reaction is in fixed time limit, otherwise procedure is interrupted

摘要

The method involves selecting a value of a functional parameter characteristic of an electronic power component, in response to a successive application of switching voltage to determine, whether a reaction of the component is in a fixed time limit. A piloting procedure is run on the component, if the reaction of the component is in the time limit, otherwise the procedure is interrupted to save integrity of the component. The piloting procedure contains many steps to control the application of a different switching voltage, on a common electrode of the electronic power component, between the instant where piloting process starts and the instant of the opening and closing of the electronic power component. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a system for controlling electronic power component (b) an information recording medium for performing a method of controlling electronic power component.
