A drive whose devices dissipate 3 kW in total needs a heatsink and airflow capable of removing

  • A.3 kW at the permitted temperature rise
  • B.3 kW at any temperature rise whatever
  • C.1.5 kW
  • D.6 kW

Answer: A

Correct answer: 3 kW at the permitted temperature rise

The heatsink must remove the whole 3 kW while holding the junctions below their limit, so the thermal resistance from junction to ambient must be low enough that the product of loss and resistance leaves a margin. Removing 3 kW at any temperature rise would be trivial and useless - the rise is the whole of the requirement.
