System and methods for improving power handling of an electronic device
Abstract:
There is provided an electronic device that includes a heatsink, a first dual IGBT coupled to the heatsink and configured to provide electrical power to a field exciter, a second dual IGBT coupled to the heatsink and configured to provide electrical power to a battery, a third dual IGBT coupled to the heatsink and common to the field exciter and the battery. The electronic device also includes a temperature sensor disposed in the heatsink, a cooling unit comprising a plenum and a variable source of air flow, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a temperature reading from the temperature sensor and, based on the temperature reading, determine a desired level of cooling for at least one of the dual IGBTs, wherein an air flow rate provided by the cooling unit is determined based on the desired level of cooling.
