Immersion-Cooled SiC Power Converters: Benefits and Design Considerations

Date: 10/09/2026
Time: 9:00 am
Presenter: Yiju Wang and James Camp
Abstract: (Please note: this webinar is sponsored by PELS TC 11) Immersion cooling is an enabling thermal management and dielectric insulation technology for power electronic converters, especially for high-voltage and high-altitude applications. In this webinar, we will share our experience on multi-physics modeling, design and characterization testing of immersion cooled SiC power converters, and elaborate the thermal and dielectric benefits of immersion cooling, including improved thermal uniformity, reduced semiconductor hot spot temperatures, increased insulation performance, and reduced partial discharge risk.
