Abstract :
Thermal performance of power electronic components is a limiting factor on the power density and design of high voltage high power systems. Therefore, accurate assessment and characterization on the thermal capabilities of these components is critical for the development and design of high density power applications. This paper presents a methodology for calibrating an infrared camera system for use in characterizing high voltage power electronic components
