Abstract :
The integrated simulation of electrical and thermal behavior of an AC-DC power supply is investigated. The approach is based on a conventional electric circuit model combined with a thermal resistive model, processed by a unique simulation program that provides fast steady state calculations. Results are critically compared to actual thermal measurements
