Hi, I have a question regarding to the turn off loss using thermal model.
When I run LLC at lower than resonant frequency, I have the problem of no turn off loss. (no turn on loss either but this is expected since it has zero voltage switching). But when I change it to higher than resonant frequency, the turn off loss appears.
Can some one help me with this problem?
Thank you.
Please provide your model and your thermal data sheet.
Hi Oliver,
The model is attached along with the init function.
I use the default thermal model of IPW60R280P6, which is provided by PLECS.
Thank you.

I can only repodruce this problem if I set a refine factor > 1. From first sight it seems to be a display problem in PLECS blockset. The losses, however, are calculated correctly as can be seen by the output from the Periodic Impulse Average block (or by observing the heatsink temperature). We’ll look into this.
What version of Matlab are you using?
Thank you for the response.
My MATLAB information is below:
MATLAB Version: 9.0.0.341360 (R2016a)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise Version 10.0 (Build 15063)
Java Version: Java 1.7.0_60-b19 with Oracle Corporation Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM mixed mode
Can I change the refine factor?
Thank you.
Sure. In the Simulink Model, choose the menu entry “Simulation” / “Model Configuration Parameters”, then open the “Data Import/Export” tab. The “Refine factor” parameter is in the lower half of the dialog. In newer versions of Simulink you have to expand the “Additional parameters” in the lower part of the dialog to see it.
The refine factor smoothes the output curve by calculating additional curve value based on higher-order interpolation. This is more efficient than reducing the simulation step size but does not necessarily give correct values between the “real” simulation steps.
It is really great!
Thank you very much. Now I have the correct waveform with turn off loss.
Thanks Oliver!
