The rise of Wide Band Gap (WBG) devices has brought excitement in the field of Powerconverters. The WBG based converter can operate at the very high frequency andtemperature making them ideal to use in harsh environments. The commercialization ofWBG devices such as SiC and GaN MOSFETs has made it interesting for powerengineering professionals all over the world. The use of WBG devices capable of operatingat high switching frequencies reduces the overall system size dramatically with addedbenefit of improved power quality at high temperature. The main goal of this thesis is todesign and test an AC-DC converter based on a SiC power module. The designed rectifiercan be considered an active rectifier equipped with a controller to constantly providefeedback for modification of switching signals to get the desired output voltage. Thedesigned active rectifier converts the varying frequency input power supply into rectifiedDC voltage while keeping the power factor of the system to unity. This thesis coverselementary information on power supply design, switching schemes and design of thecontroller. System arrangement will provide more light on the use of Six ChannelMOSFET Gate Driver from CREE with the overall experimental setup. The experimentalanalysis will summarize the behavior of the system where information on achievedrectification, effect on the line currents at the generator and concluding power factorrepresentation is described.
