Webinar: Sustaining high-temperature DC-link film for 800V+ SiC Inverters - Charged EVs

This webinar focuses on the challenges faced by DC-link capacitors in 800V+ silicon carbide (SiC) inverters, particularly the inability of conventional dielectric films to meet high-temperature operat... Read original →

The push toward 800V+ SiC inverters is forcing a fundamental redesign of dielectric materials in DC-link capacitors. Conventional polypropylene films degrade rapidly above 150°C, but Advanced Conversion’s NanoPlex™ LDF and Power Ring Platform integrate nano-composite dielectrics with thermo-electrical co-optimized packaging—extending component life while pressuring upstream suppliers of high-purity resins and metallized films to upgrade. Upcoming EU Battery Regulation mandates quantifiable durability metrics, compelling Tier 1s to fast-track qualification of new materials and raising supply chain barriers. Japanese rivals like Panasonic and TDK, constrained by legacy material systems, may resort to redundant module designs as a stopgap. Chinese firms lacking high-β dielectric process control risk exclusion from premium e-drive markets. Within 18 months, players mastering co-innovation across materials, structure, and system levels will dominate 800V platform standardization and catalyze joint SiC-capacitor optimization cycles.
