The integration of Wide Bandgap (WBG) semiconductor devices, such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), into industrial motor systems offers significant advantages over traditional siliconbased devices, including faster switching speeds and reduced power losses. Given the industrial sector’s substantial energy use, improvements in motor systems can greatly enhance energy efficiency and sustainability. The research will explore the impact of various converter topologies, semiconductor technologies and filtering options, providing insights and recommendations for more advanced motor systems. Standard 400V industrial motors in the lower kW range will be tested with different converters, and semiconductor devices to analyze system losses and motor stresses.
