For its technologically new testing platform SET GmbH was rewarded with the Innovation Award 2019\/2020 by WiR, the association for the promotion of businesses and innovation in the Ravensburg district. With its platform, the company provides a solution for testing wide-bandgap power semiconductors used in electronic vehicles. Through its new testing procedures, SET helps maintain the quality of these power semiconductors and ultimately prevents that electronic vehicles lose too much of their range over the course of their useful life. The digital award ceremony was held on April 26, 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One central aspect of technological change in the automotive industry is the replacement of the combustion engine with the electric motor. The range of vehicles per charging cycle is one the driving factors to grow acceptance for e-vehicles. New wide-bandgap power semiconductors in these vehicles open tremendous opportunities, but they also come with new challenges for the industry, as research into the reliability of these components is still going on. Repeatedly, there had been undesired faults, which remained undiscovered during testing, because the necessary testing procedures had not yet been developed. With its new testing platform, SET GmbH has now changed this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n watch innovation award video (in German; English version following soon)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
