Silicon Carbide MOSFETs: Enabling Grid Scale Utility-Tie Inverters
EPC Power has partnered with Wolfspeed to create “M”, the industry’s first utility-scale string-style inverter.
Wolfspeed's 2300 V WolfPACK MOSFET.
As the world becomes increasingly dependent on electricity, the need for reliable and efficient power systems grows. Wolfspeed, a leader in silicon carbide (SiC) technology, is working to ensure that the lights stay on by providing innovative solutions for power systems.
SiC technology has revolutionized the power industry by offering higher efficiency, reliability, and power density compared to traditional silicon components. Wolfspeed’s SiC MOSFETs and power modules are designed to provide system scalability and flexibility, making them ideal for a wide range of applications, from industrial and energy to automotive and consumer markets.
One of the key benefits of SiC technology is its ability to reduce energy losses and increase efficiency. Wolfspeed’s SiC devices have the industry’s lowest on-state resistances and low switching losses, enabling high efficiency and power density. This means that power systems can operate at a lower temperature, reducing the risk of overheating and increasing their lifespan.
Wolfspeed’s SiC technology is also designed to be rugged and reliable, making it ideal for applications where high performance and efficiency are critical. The company’s reference designs and evaluation kits provide designers with the tools they need to create systems that meet the highest standards of performance and efficiency.
In addition to its SiC technology, Wolfspeed also offers a range of gate driver boards and custom power services. These solutions are designed to help designers and engineers create systems that meet their specific needs and requirements.
