Si Carbide v Eco-mode
Eco-mode saves power but increases the risks associated with a UPS. Ian Bitterlin says silicon carbide could give the best of both worlds Power losses in static UPSs have gradually decreased over the past 20 years. Early thyristor based on-line systems (referred to as double-conversion or IEC ‘VFI’) with transformers at the input and output had full-load operating efficiency of 83-85 percent.
