Prezentare generală a produsului și relevanța pe piața din 2025

Silicon carbide (SiC) high-power Schottky diodes deliver ultra-fast, low-loss rectification for high-voltage DC (HVDC) links, industrial switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), active front ends, and high-power rectifiers deployed across Pakistan’s textile, cement, steel, and emerging industrial sectors. Built on wide bandgap material with negligible reverse recovery, these devices reduce switching losses dramatically versus silicon diodes, enabling system efficiencies above 98%, compact magnetics, and cooler operation under continuous high-current duty.

In 2025, plants in Punjab and Sindh are accelerating modernization to counter grid instability, rising electricity tariffs, and thermal constraints within crowded motor control centers. SiC Schottky devices rated at ≥1700 V support fast-switching rectification at 20–50 kHz, lowering conduction and switching losses while maintaining high-temperature stability up to 175°C junction. Outcomes include 10%–15% annual energy savings, 30%–40% reductions in cooling hardware, and >50% lower failure rates in high-temperature, high-dust environments such as cement kilns and aço melt shops. These diodes integrate into multi-pulse rectifier bridges, AFE topologies, and high-frequency SMPS stages, with documentation aligned to IEC 62477-1 (safety), IEC 61000 (EMC), and IEC 60747 (semiconductor devices) to streamline acceptance in local plants.
