  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents the design and simulation of a high-efficiency Silicon Carbide (SiC)-based motor controller for electric vehicle applications. Conventional silicon-based controllers suffer from high switching losses and reduced efficiency at high switching frequencies. To address these limitations, the proposed system utilizes SiC power devices to enhance switching performance, reduce power losses, and improve thermal characteristics. A three-phase inverter topology is implemented and analyzed using simulation tools to evaluate system performance under varying load conditions. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in efficiency, faster switching response, and reduced thermal stress compared to traditional silicon-based controllers. The proposed approach provides a compact, energy-efficient, and reliable solution for next-generation electric vehicle propulsion systems.
