Abstract
A system and a method for controlling temperature inside electrical and electronics systems. The method includes sensing temperature of an inverter section by a temperature sensor, the inverter section including one or more electronic components. The method also includes determining, by a microcontroller, a temperature zone based on the sensed temperature and transmit a command to an inverter based on the temperature zone. The method further includes controlling speed of a compressor by an inverter based on the command.
