Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to find the optimum inverter type as the solder joint reliability point of view.
Design/methodology/approach
In this paper, finite element model(ing) simulations supported with power cycling aging experiments were used to demonstrate the best inverter type as the solder joint reliability point of view.
Findings
It was found that inverter types highly affect the solder joint health during its nominal operating.
Originality/value
The authors confirm the originality of this paper.
