knowing the total heat generated by the current IGBT device and the circulating heat dissipation capacity of the cooling liquid, the residual heat dissipation capacity of the current IGBT device can be determined; and predicting the junction temperature inside the current IGBT device according to the residual heat dissipation capacity of the current IGBT device and the ambient temperature around the IGBT device. If the predicted junction temperature inside the IGBT device is higher than the maximum value of the suitable temperature interval of the IGBT device, the temperature inside the IGBT device is over high, if the temperature of the IGBT device is reduced by taking cooling measures in time, the temperature of the IGBT device can be continuously increased, the IGBT device is enabled to fail due to overheating, and the working reliability of the vehicle-mounted converter is affected.
S32: and the controller determines a power supply control signal according to the junction temperature of the IGBT device.
