Silicon carbide power inverter/rectifier for electric machines
Abstract
The present disclosure involves a two stage inverter, a system for electrical power conversation, and a method of converting electrical power using silicon carbide (SiC) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). One example implementation includes using two or more SiC MOSFETs in series with each MOSFET having a gate terminal for triggering a state switch between an on (conducting) and off (non-conducting) state of the MOSFET. An AC terminal is connected between the series SiC MOSFETS, and the series SiC MOSFETs are connected across a DC bus and in parallel with one or more capacitors.
