The bandgap of SiC is 3x that of silicon, resulting in a 3V larger rise voltage in the pn diode and consequently a relatively large forward voltage drop. However, since reverse conduction in the bridge circuit etc. is possible due to gate ON signal input during commutation, substantive steady-state loss should not be an issue.
