Abstract :
This paper presents the essential aspects related to the thermal modeling of the magnetic components (power transformers and inductors) used in high frequency static converters. The main difficulties in the modeling of heat transfer mechanisms in such components are discussed and a thermal model for pot core magnetic components, represented by an equivalent circuit, is described
