    If I replace the 120V signal with a DC voltage, will the IGBT still work in this configuration?
    Christopher4187, the device shown in your schematic is not an IGBT but a simple TRIAC.

    Triac works only with AC. Under no circumstance apply DC voltage to a triac.

    So the consequent answer to your question is : NO IT WILL NOT WORK.
