PLECS is a software for modeling and simulating electrical systems, e.g., power electronics systems. Power electronics systems are based on active (e.g. power semiconductors), passive elements (resistors, inductors, capacitors), and control building blocks.

The thermal domain can be incorporated by the thermal description of the power semiconductor elements and resistive heating. The thermal modeling of the power semiconductor elements is described by their equivalent thermal networks, while the power losses are described as conduction, turn-on, and turn-off losses.

The linked documents eplaines, how to apply and use the PLECS models available for our established products. The models can be found in the download section of the individual product as zip-file, e.g.: 750A - SwissSEM (CH) (swiss-sem.com)
