    Abstract

    The theoretical advantages that Silicon Carbide (SiC) material offers are being realized by using prototype or experimental devices in many different applications ranging from medium voltage to high voltage. The main advantages of using SiC based devices are reduced thermal management requirements and smaller passive components which result in higher power density. An overview of the SiC research effort for transportation applications at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is presented in this paper.
