【 摘 要 】

Current electrical component technology makes it impossible for entire systems to operate at the extreme temperatures required for many applications. Therefore, thermal zoning is a straightforward method to maximize the temperature capability of complex systems. The technique involves simple thermal analyses to determine variable temperature limits, design requirements, and cooling techniques for an electrical system. This paper discusses how the thermal zoning technique is used during program development in order to maximize the demonstration temperature of a 50 kW bidirectional converter.
