Simcenter POWERTESTER power electronics component thermal reliability testing

This introductory video discusses how Simcenter POWERTESTER test hardware range is used in power electronics applications for power semiconductor thermal reliability and lifetime assessment (IGBTs, Si and SiC MOSFETs, Diodes, etc). Simcenter POWERTESTER products combine automatic power cycling and thermal characterization measurement for failure diagnosis. Structure Functions are sampled during power cycling, without removal of the device under test, to indicate thermal degradation in a component thermal structure to provide useful insight into root causes of failure.
