TLDR
In this article, a hypothetic silicon carbide (SiC) metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) power module for the medium voltage (MV) variable frequency drive (VFD) was proposed.Abstract:
This paper proposes a hypothetic silicon carbide (SiC) metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) power module for the medium voltage (MV) variable frequency drive (VFD). A peer-to-peer comparison between commercial silicon (Si) insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) and the proposed SiC MOSFET module results in some promising results to support the introduction of SiC power modules for the MV VFD market.read more
