About this Calculator:
This Heat Sink Sizing Calculator helps you estimate the size of a heat sink required for a motor driver or motor controller based on various inputs such as power dissipation, ambient temperature, maximum allowable temperature rise, and thermal resistance of the heat sink. By providing these inputs, you can prevent overheating in high-power motor applications.
Equations Used:
Required Heat Sink Size: \( \text{Heat Sink Size} = \frac{\text{Power Dissipation}}{\text{Max Allowable Temp Rise} - \text{Ambient Temperature}} \times \text{Thermal Resistance} \)
