Experimental characterization of the predictive thermal behaviour model of a surface-mounted soft magnetic composite inductor

Further, for minimizing the expensive meshing of the finely detailed simulations and the computation time, a novel concept of compact thermal model for inductor device, based on DELPHI methodology, was used. The deducted two-heating-source DELPHI-style model adequately correlates the physical behaviour of all heat paths of the inductor device, our purpose.
