Abstract
Due to its very low reverse recovery characteristic, SiC diode brings significant advantage in many applications, especially for high frequency switching converters. Various studies have been conducted for utilization of SiC diodes in applications like power supplies and solar inverters. This paper discusses the advantages of SiC diode in large inverters for motor drive or grid-tied inverter applications, and compares with its Si counterpart.
