Bad IGBT in the inverter
The Tverter 220V inverter IGBT drive may cause nuisance tripping on a 100A 30mA RCCD due to the high-frequency harmonics and potential leakage currents generated by the inverter. These factors can lead to the RCCD detecting a fault condition even when there isn't one. It's advisable to consult the manufacturer's documentation or a qualified electrician to assess compatibility and consider using a type that is less sensitive to such applications.

An insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) uses relatively high frequency switching and pulse width modulation (PWM) technology for voltage and current regulation whilst a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) uses relatively low frequency switching and phase shift technology. Because of the relatively high frequency of operation, the transformers used in circuits having IGBT scan be much smaller in size and lighter in weight, therefore overall a IGBT-based power control circuit can be made much smaller in size, lighter in weight, more energy efficient and more cost effective compared to SCR-based control ciruits. Apart from those advantages, because the cost of manufacturing IGBTs is now lower than SCRs, IGBTs are rapidly replacing SCRs for power control applications.
IGBT first of all is a hybrid device meaning the combination of two devices; the BJT and the MOSFET. Depending on the application, one can never say an IGBT is better than others. Typically, an IGBT is ideal for high powered, high voltage and high frequency applications

A snubber circuit is typically connected across an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) to protect it from voltage transients and reduce voltage spikes during switching events. It usually consists of a resistor and a capacitor in series (RC snubber) or a diode-capacitor combination for diode snubbing. The snubber absorbs excessive energy, minimizing the risk of damage to the IGBT and improving overall performance by smoothing out the voltage waveform. Proper design of the snubber is crucial to effectively dampen oscillations and ensure reliable operation.
