Abstract

Monitoring aging in an electric drive system includes energizing the electric drive system such that electrical current flows through a power semiconductor device therein, determining a value indicative of a voltage across the power semiconductor device, at a current level where voltage is substantially independent of temperature, comparing the determined value with a reference value, and outputting a signal responsive to a difference between the values that is indicative of an aging state of the power semiconductor device.
