I am using a IGBT gate driver IR2117 to drive a IGBT which drives a 4- quadrant PMDC motor of 75 V dc. I have a problem with driver. The input to the driver is PWM technique. The problem is the IGBT driver chip always blows out when I switch on the dc supply. Actually if the duty cycle is 50% then it is fine but when the duty cycle is increased to 95% it always blows out. Sometimes IGBT too.
Any help will be appreciated from my heart.
