Silicon carbide has increased the efficiency of power converters in many applications. However, general purpose motor drives have not been able to benefit from SiC due to cost and technical limitations. Now, changing market conditions and advances in technology mean SiC makes sense in variable torque applications. When considering the complete motor drive, the return on investment for SiC becomes apparent. Equally important is understanding the reliability of this high-performance technology.
Key Take-Aways:
✔ Learn which aspects of a motor drive benefit from silicon carbide
✔ See practical comparisons considering the entire motor drive system
✔ Understand cost implications and payback period
