"This publication was realized with support of
Operational Program Integrated Infrastructure 2014 - 2020 of
the project: Innovative Solutions for Propulsion, Power and
Safety Components of Transport Vehicles, code ITMS
313011V334, co-financed by the European Regional
Development FundThe paper deals with traction inverters used in
the field of electromobility, while the focus of the study is,
investigation of the thermal performance, when laminar
busbars are used. Initially the specifications on the circuit
configuration are being discussed. It is then followed by the
component selection, while considering main circuit
components, the DC link capacitor and power transistor
modules represent essential parts for inverter design.
Investigation of thermal performance is realized for
semiconductor module, and busbars. For this purpose, the
simulation model was developed, which contains all required
definitions for investigation. With the use of simulation model,
it is possible to study the influence of various circuit
components, busbar geometry and the ways how they influence
the thermal performance of the converter because of electric
current flow
