"🧑🏻🎤Why #NVIDIA use 800V HVDC There are two main reasons: [--]. Lower copper cost Power follows W = V times I. When voltage increases current decreases which means cables dont need to be as thick. For AI racks drawing tens of kilowatts the reduction in copper usage translates into significant cost savings. [--]. Higher power conversion efficiency Compared with traditional 12V or 48V architectures an 800V system reduces the number of power conversion stages. Using SiC MOSFETs conversion efficiency can reach 9698% which is higher than conventional silicon MOSFETs. A 1% efficiency difference at this"
