Abstract
A semiconductor element test apparatus includes a first switch having a switching element, a coil, a second switch, a semiconductor element, a first rectifying element, and a second rectifying element. The first switch, the coil, and the second switch are connected in series to a power source. The semiconductor element is disposed to configure a loop path along with the coil and the second switch when the switching element is switched off. The semiconductor element has a diode element. A cathode electrode of the diode element is connected to a positive electrode of the power source. The second rectifying element is connected to the first rectifying element in series, and has a rectification direction opposite to a rectification direction of the first rectifying element. The first rectifying element and the second rectifying element configure, along with the coil, another loop path which is different from the loop path.
