Design of 100 kVA SiC power converter for aircraft electric starter generator

This paper proposes two suitable converter topologies for more electric aircraft (MEA) starter generator application. The commercially available silicon (Si) and silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor devices are also sourced to fit the given design requirements. Different possible configurations of th...
