Industrial electric motors, including industrial low voltage motor drives, servo drives, heat pumps and air conditioners, together account for more than 45% of all global electricity consumed annually. Wolfspeed silicon carbide (SiC) devices enhance overall motor efficiency by up to 2.6% or more, reduce overall system losses by up to 50%, and meet stringent efficiency standards including IE4, SEER, ESSER and SCOP levels in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa; and China’s GB21455 standards. Additionally, silicon carbide enables system designers to integrate drives and motors, designing smaller, lighter, less complex embedded industrial drives.
