Quantifying the benefits of SiC technology in Electric Motor Drive Systems

Date: 03 Jul 2025
Session 1: 9 am CEST | 3pm SGT
Session 2: 8 am PDT | 11am EDT | 5 pm CEST

Electric Motor Drive Systems (EMDS) account for an astonishing 43–46% of global electrical energy consumption, making their efficiency a critical focus in the aim to save energy and reduce CO2 emissions. The introduction of advanced technologies, such as Silicon Carbide (SiC), presents a transformative opportunity to significantly enhance system efficiency and meet these ambitious environmental goals.

This webinar delves into the evolving regulatory landscape and the technical innovations driving more efficient Power Drive Systems (PDS) designs. Join our exclusive webinar to explore the potential of SiC in replacing traditional IGBT technology for motor drives and offers a detailed comparison of Infineon's CoolSiC™ and IGBT TRENCHSTOP™ solutions including the cost-benefit analysis of the adoption in an industrial application. Through real-world simulations and measurements, gain a comprehensive understanding of how cutting-edge materials and designs can reshape the future of energy-efficient industrial systems.
