I'm trying to create a single phase 120VAC VFD to run an AC motor at variable speeds.
I plan to use 4 individual IGBT's, logic level gated, to run this motor.
My question about IGBTs is (can't find an answer anywhere) - will they operate normally even when the emitter is not connected to ground?
Obviously two out of the 4 IGBTs will have their emitters connected to the AC Motor, and the other 2 IGBTs will have their emitters connected to ground.
Any input is appreciated, thanks.
