To develop two completely independent traction inverter systems for use in automobiles. One designed around the commercially available Silicon-Carbide (SiC) power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFETs), and the other designed around Gallium-Nitride (GaN) power high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs).
