Some solutions to the problem will utilize a high frequency, high voltage switching inverter. The performance of this type of inverter is limited by the losses generated by the devices making up the inverter. The wide bandgap devices (switches in essence) offer the lowest losses for this type of topology. Furthermore, some novel inverter designs work only if they operate at very high frequencies. Only the wide bandgap devices can switch at these high frequencies.
