A system for temperature control of an electronic component includes a heat plate supporting the component; a heat plate temperature sensor; a fan capable of providing air for cooling the heat plate; and a fan control for using the heat plate temperature to control the operation of the fan to provide a substantially constant heat plate temperature. The system can further include a heat pipe assembly having fins and coupled to the heat plate with the fan capable of providing air to the fins. The heat pipe assembly can include at least two heat pipes each having first ends coupled to the heat plate and second ends situated in a condensation section where at least one of the heat pipes has a different working fluid than an other. A switch temperature or load current sensor can be coupled to the heat plate and supply data to a switch controller for receiving the switch temperature, determining whether the temperature or load current has changed, and adjusting a switching frequency of the at least one electronic switch device in response to any change of the switch temperature. A bus layer can be situated adjacent the component and selectively coated with an insulating material and studs can mechanically and electrically coupling the bus layer and a printed circuit board to the component. An insulating shield can be situated between the bus layer and the printed circuit board with the studs.

A method for obtaining a power system phasor includes sampling a power system signal at instants determined by a nominal power system frequency to provide a plurality of data samples; using the data samples to estimate a phasor having an elliptical trajectory; generating a deviation formula representing a frequency deviation between actual and nominal power system frequencies; and using the deviation formula to perform a coordinate transform of the estimated phasor to provide a scaled phasor having a substantially circular trajectory. If the data samples are unevenly spaced, a method in another embodiment includes minimizing squares of errors between the unevenly spaced data samples and an approximating sinusoidal function of the data samples. Power system phasors can be used to detect turn faults by providing scaled current and voltage phasors; extracting fundamental voltage and current phasors; and applying a symmetrical component transform to the fundamental voltage and current phasors to obtain symmetrical component voltage and current phasors for use in determining the existence of a turn fault. Variance calculations and/or trigonometric function fits can be used to increase sensitivity of fault detection.

An apparatus and method for estimating rotor position in and commutating a switched reluctance motor (SRM), using both a flux/current SRM angle estimator and a toothed wheel generating a magnetic pickup. Commutation is based on the flux/current SRM at startup and lower speeds. At higher speeds, when magnetic pickup sensed from the toothed wheel is sufficiently large in amplitude to create frequent reliable interrupts, commutation is based on signals from the toothed wheel magnetic pickup. Phase errors can be compensated by adjusting the angle input to the commutator as a function of estimated speed. Alternatively, the flux/current SRM angle estimator can be run in a background mode to tune the toothed wheel interrupt angle signal at different speeds.
