The dc measurement method of thermal resistance of IGBTs

In the paper the dc measurement method of thermal resistance of the IGBT is presented. The possibilities of selection of a thermally sensitive parameter and a manner of realization of the method are discussed. The correctness of the presented method was verified with the use of infrared measurements. The influence of the selected factors on the measurement error of the thermal resistance is analyzed.
