This study introduces an effective and efficient dynamic electro-thermal coupling analysis (ETCA) approach to explore the electro-thermal behavior of a three-phase power metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) inverter for brushless direct current motor drive under natural and forced convection during a six-step operation. This coupling analysis integrates three-dimensional electromagnetic simulation for parasitic parameter extraction, simplified equivalent circuit simulation for power loss calculation, and a compact Foster thermal network model for junction temperature prediction, constructed through parametric transient computational fluid dynamics (CFD) thermal analysis. In the proposed ETCA approach, the interactions between the junction temperature and the power losses (conduction and switching losses) and between the parasitics and the switching transients and power losses are all accounted for. The proposed Foster thermal network model and ETCA approach are validated with the CFD thermal analysis and the standard ETCA approach, respectively. The analysis results demonstrate how the proposed models can be used as an effective and efficient means of analysis to characterize the system-level electro-thermal performance of a three-phase bridge inverter.
