Temperature rise considerations and calculation example
The simulator PLECS allows users to estimate power losses and temperature profiles for a constant case
temperature. The result of loss calculation using the typical characteristics is shown in Figure 33 as
“
max RMS
output current versus carrier frequency”. These curves, functions of the motor drive topology and control
scheme, are simulated under the following conditions:
PWM
Vbus
Vout

Figure 33 shows an example of an inverter operated at T
C
= 100°C. It indicates the maximum current managed
by IM393-XX in safety conditions, when the junction temperature rises to the maximum junction temperature of
150°C.
