Silicon Carbide (SiC) power devices are rapidly reshaping high-power conversion systems by enabling higher switching frequencies, increased power density, and improved efficiency. However, scaling SiC technologies to high-power and high-voltage applications introduces specific design, integration, and reliability challenges that must be addressed at system level.
This presentation shares COUGAR ELECTRONICS and ARCEL's industrial experience in the design and deployment of high-power SiC converters. It will cover key architectural choices, semiconductor selection, gate-drive strategies, thermal management, and insulation constraints specific to SiC-based high-power systems.
Through concrete use cases and feedback from real industrial applications, the objective is to provide practical insights for engineers and system designers considering SiC technologies for next-generation high-power converters.
