In spite of its importance in the rating and reliable application of power diodes and thyristors, the computation of instantaneous junction temperature has been a poorly understood and generally dreaded process among equipment designers. Under many practical circumstances, it has only been feasible by means of lengthy computer programs.
Taken as a whole this session was of interest to people working in power electronics at all power levels since there were papers covering aspects of transistors, thyristors and power rectifier diodes. In addition, one paper, on transient thermal analysis of semiconductor devices, was applicable to all devices.
