  2. 1. On SiC JFET converters: components, gate-drives and main-circuit conditions

    Author : Björn Ållebrand; Hans-Peter Nee; Lutz Josef; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Power JFET; SiC JFET; Silicon Carbide; PSpice; Simulations; Gate drive; Blanking times; Normally-on; Modeling; Commutation transients; Electric power engineering; Elkraftteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with Silicon Carbide Junction Field Effect Transistors (SiC JFETs) - how to use them to their full potential in power electronic circuits, how to model them in a power electronic simulation program, and how a gate drive can be built. To fully utilize the low on-state losses of SiC JFETs it is suggested that SiC JFETs should not be equipped with anti-parallel diodes. READ MORE

    Abstract : Silicon carbide (SiC) has higher breakdown field strength than silicon (Si), which enables thinner and more highly doped drift layers compared to Si. Consequently, the power losses can be reduced compared to Si-based power conversion systems. Moreover, SiC allows the power conversion systems to operate at high temperatures up to 250 oC. READ MORE
