Frequently asked questions
Who designs the cooling in power electronics?
This is often a joint task of electronics and mechanics. Many power electronics engineers calculate losses and junction temperatures themselves; the heat sink or liquid cooling design then comes from thermal simulation. If you want both from one source, state thermal analysis as a requirement in the project.
