What is IGBT?Where it is used? What is the difference
between IGBT and Thyristor?

Answer Posted / v n panchalai

Apart from the above mentioned i add to that

The Thyristors can not be switched beyond 1kHz where as
IGBTs can be switched upto 25kHz and even to 100KHz with
few soft switching techniques.

The thyristor can carry very high currents order of 3000A
but IGBT carries less current max of 1000A.

Thyristor commutation ,that is switching off is very
difficult. But there are applications of thyridtor with
natural commutation.

The IGBT can be switched on and off like a MOSFET. ie it is
voltage controlled device.
