New cost-effective silicon carbide high voltage switch created

Friday, October 7, 2016 - 05:01 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers have created a high voltage and high frequency silicon carbide (SiC) power switch that could cost much less than similarly rated SiC power switches. The findings could lead to early applications in the power industry, especially in power converters like medium voltage drives, solid state transformers and high voltage transmissions and circuit breakers.
