Current flows through the circuit controlled by a thyristor working with a cooler, as shown in Figure 1.
Thyristor core values are UT0 = 1 V, RT = 20 mΩ.
RthJS = 0.20 °C/W, RthSA = 0.30 °C/W, and ambient temperature TA = 25 °C.
Operating Temperature: Between -55 °C and 150 °C.
a) Calculate the total power loss.
b) Find the maximum DC current that can be poured when the joint temperature is 135 °C (IOrt = IEf = IDC = Id). Then, find the maximum current that can flow when the joint temperature is 135 °C.
IA = 4A
Im = 120
IOrt = 1A
t = 10
t2 = T = 30
