Custom Hands-On Experience for Students - Studying Transistor Switching

The paper presents a dedicated teaching platform primarily for studying the principles of switching power MOSFET transistors, in the field of Electrical Engineering. The proposed platform is dedicated to practical implementation, measurements and switching analysis of MOSFET transistors for different control regimes and various types of loads. It is designed to study the influence of the control circuit and the load over the switching performance of the power MOSFET transistor. For a better analysis, the influences of the circuit’s path length can also be observed. The platform is used in undergraduate laboratory studies specific to power electronics, which are designed to provide support to theoretical lectures and problem-solving exercises.
