Frequently Asked Questions
What is the typical Horse Power of an Industrial Drive?
- According to the 2020 MSMA Motor System Market Assessment by the DOE, 50% are 1-5HP, and 77% is 1-20HP.
According to the 2020 MSMA Motor System Market Assessment what is the Annual Savings Opportunity for just the Motor System Controller or Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)?
- Over 45 thousand GWh, $3.8B, and over 30 million metric tons of CO2 emissions. And the Motor System Controller, or VFD is mainly comprised of semiconductors.
Is it ok for a SiC MOSFET, rated for -3V to 18V VGS, to be driven by a gate driver from 15V (On) to 0V (Off)?
- This will be ok functionally, but the overall efficiency will be much higher if the gate driver swings the full -3V to 18V. Specifically the EOKK losses can be improved by 25%.
At a high level, what contributes to the total power losses when switching SiC?
- The total power losses are the sum of the conduction losses plus the switching losses. The conductions losses are dominated by the Rdson of the SiC MOSFET while turned On. The switching losses are a bit more complicated, including data sheet parameters like, QG, QRR, CISS, RG, EON and EOFF.
