Application of High-Power Snubberless Semiconductor Switches in High-Frequency PWM Converters

For many years, power electronics in the high-power area was performed with extremely slow semiconductor switches. These switches, including the thyristor and the Gate Turn-Off (GTO) thyristor, had the capacity to handle very high voltages and currents but lacked the ability to perform high frequen...
