Abstract

This paper analyzes the disadvantages and advantages of using new generations of switching components in power electronics devices. The analysis was performed by comparing the recorded voltage waveforms and currents of semiconductor components made of silicon and silicon carbide. The influence of DC bus inductance on the voltage of components during switching off, the influence of changing the resistance of the control circuit on the on and off speed as well as the influence of the component material on the on and off speed are shown.
