We study the thermopower of a three-terminal setup composed of a quantum dot attached to three electrodes, one of which is a topological superconductor. In the model, superconductivity is explicitly taken into account. We compare the results for s-wave (trivial) and p-wave (topological) superconductors and observe that for small temperatures the thermopower has different sign in the two cases. This behavior is strongly dependent on temperature and we estimate an energy scale that controls the sign in the p-wave case, which results proportional to the square root of the gap and the coupling to superconductor. The analytical results obtained with a simple 1D model are confirmed by a more realistic tight-binding model.
