Abstract
In this article, a three-level neutral point clamped inverter design for more-electric aircraft applications is presented. The power losses were calculated by building an accurate electrical model and comparing the efficiency and power density of the inverter when connected with different numbers of MOSFETs in parallel per switch. The steady-state and transient thermal models were established by means of the Finite Element Method (FEM) for thermal analysis. The thermal effects when different numbers of MOSFETs in parallel under different air mass flow rate conditions are also obtained.
