製品概要と2025年の市場関連性

Silicon carbide (SiC) power stages engineered for electrolytic rectification deliver >98% efficiency, high current density, and robust thermal margins for Pakistan’s textile, cement, 鉄鋼, and emerging industrial sectors. These power stages integrate SiC high-power Schottky diodes, SiC MOSFET bridges or active front ends (AFE), high-thermal-conductivity ceramic substrates, and modular cooling systems to support continuous heavy-duty operation with minimal downtime.

In 2025, producers in Punjab and Sindh face grid volatility, rising electricity tariffs, and aging rectifier assets. SiC power stages address these constraints by enabling 20–50 kHz operation, stable performance at junction temperatures up to 175°C, and compact thermal designs that reduce cooling infrastructure by 30%–40%. Plants report 10%–15% annual energy savings and >50% reduction in failure rates, while maintaining power quality and meeting compliance requirements. Documentation aligns with IEC 62477-1 (safety), IEC 61000 (EMC), and IEC 60747 (semiconductor devices), and data integration supports ISO 50001 energy and ISO 14001 environmental programs. Power stages are delivered as modular building blocks for electrolytic aluminum, electroplating, electrowinning, DC drives, and furnace rectifiers, with options for multi-pulse architectures and AFE-based harmonic mitigation.
