摘要: The advantages offered by wide band gap materials enable the design of converters with high power density for performance applications. This paper presents and test results a frequency (400kHz) hard switched two level silicon carbide based three phase inverter. Using device system parasitic models, losses in converter are predicted validated using experimental tests. A calorimetric setup is utilized to accurately measure inverter efficiencies 91% obtained at load 4kVA switching 400kHz.
