Influence of Power Modules on the Thermal Design of Laminated Busbars [PDF]
The temperature of laminated busbars has to be limited to prevent their inner electrical insulators from over-heating. In that purpose, Finite Elements Method (FEM) simulations are usually conducted to evaluate the busbar's temperature. However, the thermal influence of external heat sources such as power modules has to be considered to obtain an ...

Characterization of parasitic impedance in PCB using a flexible test probe based on a curve-fitting method [PDF]
Switching in power semiconductors with emerging materials such as silicon carbide (SiC) leads to undesired overvoltages and oscillations that limit switching frequency, largely due to impedance in the current commutation loop.

Influence of physical parameters on the capacitance of laminated busbars for electric vehicles
Abstract Laminated busbars are essential for highly efficient, high power density applications, especially in the electric transportation sector, due to their unique electrical and mechanical characteristics. Stray parameters in laminated busbars pose a real challenge to designers in industries and researchers in the field since ...

Impact of Dimensions, Apertures and Terminals on Stray Inductance of the Laminated Busbar
This paper presents a systematic investigation of the impact of physical parameters such as dimensions, apertures and terminals, on the busbar inductance. A planar laminated busbar with copper conductors and a polyamide insulator is studied using a 3D FEM (Finite Element Modelling) based simulation software.

Laminated Busbars (LBB) have proved to be the best solution for the design of power electronic devices operating at high power due to their low parasitic inductance and high current capabilities. As power electronic devices are becoming subjected to more and more severe operating conditions (due to electrification of aircrafts and SiC semiconductors ...

Influences of lamination condition on device durability for EVA-encapsulated PV modules [PDF]
PV modules rely on their encapsulation to provide durability. The pottant is predominantly ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). It is protected by foils and glass to minimise encapsulant related degradations such as delamination, decomposition and corrosion ...
