In this work, the static and dynamic characteristics of a new double-trench SiC MOSFET are experimentally investigated and compared to two different available commercial SiC MOSFETs. The SiC devices are applied in a ZVZCS Phase-Shifted Full-Bridge converter which uses the parasitic leakage inductance of the transformer to achieve soft switching. A practical method to break down the converter losses based on separating the measured semiconductor and magnetic losses is proposed and compared to an analytical loss model. The experimental results show several advantages of using SiC MOSFETs as well as ZVZCS in the converter. The main results can be summarized as elimination of the freewheeling circulating current mode, clamping the overshoot voltage across the rectifier diodes and achieving soft switching in a wide power load range without additional auxiliary circuits or resonant inductor. Experimental results for a 10kW, (100-250) kHz prototype show an efficiency of up to 98,1% for the whole converter.
