Silicon Carbide Applications

MERSEN is your solution partner for Silicon Carbide (SiC) applications. The next generation of Power Conversion Systems Enabled by SiC Power Devices is now a reality. As the global trends promote greener energy with more strict regulations and standards, newer and more efficient switching devices such as Silicon Carbide(SiC) devices are gaining acceptance in various markets from transportation to solar industries.
Compared to silicon devices, SiC devices switching can exceed several 100’s of kHz, offering substantial improvements in efficiency. SiC devices also provide enhanced power density and higher operating temperature, making them a very attractive alternative to bigger and less efficient silicon family of devices. As SiC devices can operate at much higher switching frequencies, parasitic inductance and “skin effect” phenomena become crucial considerations for bus bar designs. Mersen engineering teams can work closely with customers to design bus bars to compensate for “skin effect” and to build the most efficiently cooled power bus bar solution.
