Wolfspeed SiC MOSFETs Enable Radical Improvements in Efficiency, Power Density and Cost for Three-Phase Industrial PFCs
An alternative approach utilizing SiC MOSFETs drastically reduces switching losses (versus 1200 V IGBTs) and significantly extends the usable switching frequency range of the two-level, six-switch PFC rectifier, while maintaining higher full-load and part-load efficiency. Additionally, when employing SiC MOSFETs, the device’s body diode can be used as the anti-parallel diode, reducing circuit complexity and cost.
