  • For High voltage applications we have to use IGBT.
  • Because MOSFETs are low voltage devices. ie, Their voltage rating is lesser than IGBT.
  • General rule is MOSFETs are suitable for applications which has breakdown voltage less than 250V.
  • The IGBTs are suitable for applications which has breakdown voltage upto 1000V.
