Building an application with IGBTs up to 1000V and using IXGA20N120A3 rated at 1200V. However datasheet states that this rating is for a Vge = 0V. We are driving the IGBT with -12V during turn off to avoid self turn on and was wandering if the maximum VCE might be lower due to this negative Vge.

The max volt rating is lower by only 12 V .This should not matter when normal safety factors are applied.
