This improves test efficiency and consistency, and reduces the impact of frequent inductor disassembly and replacement on the test platform.

[0135] Furthermore, the short-circuit test circuit of this utility model embodiment can also realize double-pulse testing for different transistor positions. Simply select a suitable inductor according to the test requirements of double-pulse testing, and then replace the first inductor L1 or the second inductor L2, and combine it with the corresponding control switch to realize double-pulse testing for different transistor positions.

[0136] Specifically, during the dual-pulse test, the gate of the IGBT under test needs to be connected to a pulse generator. The IGBT test unit is then subjected to pulse testing through the pulse generator and the short-circuit test circuit in this embodiment.
