Abstract

This paper highlights ongoing efforts to validate performance, reliability and robustness of GE SiC MOSFETs for Aerospace and Industrial applications. After summarizing ruggedness and reliability testing performed on 1.2kV MOSFETs, two application examples are highlighted. The first demonstrates the 1.2kV device performance in a prototype high frequency 75kW Aviation motor drive. The second highlights the experimental demonstration of a 99% efficient 1.0MW solar inverter using 1.7kV MOSFET modules in a two-level topology switching at 8kHz. Both applications illustrate that SiC advantage is not only in improved performance, but also in significant system cost savings through simplifications in topology, controls, cooling and filtering.
