Thermal Design in Power Electronics

Thermal failure accounts for over half of all premature faults in power electronics. This article covers the fundamentals of modern thermal design — thermal budget, Arrhenius law, thermo-mechanical fatigue and cooling technology hierarchy — alongside the concurrent DFR methodology that Premium SA applies from the concept phase in SiC/GaN converters for railway, defence and industrial applications.
