Abstract
Provided is a system for regulating temperature change of semiconductor components within a converter. The system includes a temperature regulator in communication with at least one semiconductor within the converter and a power source, the temperature regulator comprising a controller. Also included is a peak detector in communication with at least one of the semiconductors and configured to identify a maximum temperature of each semiconductor when the semiconductor conducts high current.
