[0084] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide an IGBT device loss assessment method, apparatus, dielectric and electronic equipment that obtains the IGBT device's junction temperature based on the average conduction current of each conduction segment within the current cycle. The conduction loss at the junction temperature is obtained by considering the switching current and stray inductance deviation of the IGBT during each current cycle. To determine the switching losses, the average conduction current of the fast recovery diode during each conduction period is used to obtain the switching losses at the junction temperature. The conduction loss at the junction temperature is determined by the on-state current and stray inductance deviation of the fast recovery diode before each turn-off within the current cycle. The reverse recovery loss is calculated; based on the obtained conduction loss, switching loss, and reverse recovery loss, the total loss of the IGBT device is determined. By introducing stray inductance deviation values, accurate switching loss and reverse recovery loss are obtained, thus ensuring the accuracy of the total loss assessment results.
