Abstract
Princeton Fusion Systems (PFS) has designed, built, and tested a Load Switch printed circuit board (PCB) to demonstrate the capabilities of 2 kV silicon carbide (SiC) cascodes in development by Qorvo towards plasma heating and control applications. Initial tests have been conducted at low power (~100 W) for validation with thermal finite element analysis (FEA) modeling performed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Comparisons of experimental data with the thermal modeling results, along with considerations for operating in plasma systems, will be discussed.
