This summary chart shows the decrease in all switching related losses providing more than 24% improvement in overall losses. The increase in diode conduction loss for SiC is due to its positive temperature characteristic for forward voltage. This increase in loss is however greatly offset by the elimination of switching losses in the diode itself and the large reduction in IGBT turn on loss.
