  • Abstract
    This paper describes design, construction and tests of 2 kVA three-phase current source inverter with silicon carbide (SiC) JFETs and Schottky diodes. Low on-resistance and switching energies of SiC JFET lead to switching frequency increase to 100 kHz. In result size and weight of inverter is reduced. Operation of 2 kVA model is illustrated by laboratory results - measured efficiency at nominal conditions was 96,55%.
