Abstract

A method for limiting temperature variation of an electrical component includes detecting a switch from passive to active states and, in response, varying a potential difference between capacitor electrodes from a first value to a second value, the electrodes being mechanically and electrically insulated from each other by a layer of electrocaloric dielectric, and in response to detecting a switch from active to passive states, varying the potential difference between the electrodes from the second to the first value.
