Which consequence results when reverse recovery current overwhelms clamp diodes in Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs)?

💡 Explanation

Thermal runaway initiates because parasitic bipolar action raises transistor temperature, due to increased collector current, therefore reducing its blocking voltage, rather than causing direct gate or frequency changes, under clamp circuit failure.
