Abstract

In electric vehicular (EV) traction drives, Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices promise large savings in volume and weight of the converter system, especially when an inverter is combined with a boost DC/DC converter. Such a system has been designed, implemented and tested as a laboratory prototype. Detailed information on the component design is given and the prototypes characteristics are compared with a conventional Silicon IGBT based industrial system.
