Abstract :
This paper presents an experimental study aimed at the investigation of the influence of boundary conditions on the element values of compact thermal models generated in the form of Cauer RC ladders. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the impact of variable boundary temperature. The considerations are illustrated based on the experimental results obtained for a discrete silicon carbide power device.
