Abstract:
The main aim of this work is to present the thermal analysis of the ACEPACKTM SMIT Package housing a 1200V, 80A Half Bridge silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET Module, which is operated as DC/DC step down converter. Starting from some preliminary experimental tests, a thermal model is realized with a Multiphysics finite element method (FEM) based software which can be exploited to investigate the thermal distribution in the considered package in a wider operating range, by considering different output power and cooling conditions.
