A very simple analytical approach of thermal modeling for magnetic components

This work is focused on the analysis of an analytical thermal model for magnetic components. This model can be used to predict the average temperature rise in the outer surface of the device using a very simple expression. The application scope of the model is shown from a practical point of view. An analytical procedure to calculate its parameters is proposed. Finally, the model has been validated using finite element analysis and measurements.
