Powerful Knowledge 14 - Reliability modelling

Power electronic systems can be designed to be highly reliable if the designer is aware of common causes of failures and how to rate components correctly. In this episode of our 'Powerful Knowledge' series, we discuss some aspects of how to model the effect of temperature and outline some of the most common causes of system failure. Lastly, we discuss how statistical techniques can be used to predict product lifetime and failure rates of field populations.
