Abstract
A silicon carbide JFET cascade sample is characterized at temperatures up to 300degC with the design of a diode-less inverter in mind. The JFET is considered as a power switch, on-off gate voltages are applied during testing, conduction capability and blocking are measured, reverse conduction is investigated experimentally. Switching losses are considered and total losses of the inverter leg are estimated
