Technical FAQs 4

What is a silicon based inverter?

Silicon-based inverters, primarily utilizing IGBTs and MOSFETs, have been the industry standard for decades. Their advantages include high reliability, mature manufacturing processes, and cost-effectiveness.

What is a high-power inverter?

It thoroughly utilizes the high-frequency and low-loss features of the SiC devices and validates the characteristics of SiC MOSFETs and IGBTs under the hybrid application of SiC&Si through simulations and experimentations. High-power inverters have been commonly used as power conversion devices in the fields of transportation and energy.

What is a silicon carbide inverter?

Our solution for this challenge? The 800-Volt Silicon Carbide Inverter for Electrified Vehicles. Viper is the first 800-Volt inverter to use an innovative, double-side cooled silicon carbide (SiC)-based power switch that delivers the higher power densities and efficiencies needed to extend battery range and performance, and reduce costs.

Can a silicon carbide inverter be scaled?

Lastly, the 800-Volt Silicon Carbide Inverter for Electrified Vehicles can be scaled and adapted to lower and higher voltage systems, giving manufacturers much-needed economies of scale managing the multiple voltages and current levels required by PHEVs and BEVs.
