When selecting the voltage and current ratings for a SiC device, follow these guidelines:
- Voltage Rating: Choose a SiC device with a voltage rating higher than the maximum operating voltage of your circuit. A safety margin is essential, so for a 600V circuit, opt for a 650V or higher-rated device.
- Current Rating: Ensure the rated current of the SiC device exceeds the expected maximum current by about 30%, to prevent overheating or overload.
Consider additional factors such as switching frequency, efficiency, and thermal management for optimal performance.
