Claim 15:
16. The method of claim 11, wherein the one or more components of the power inverter comprise a diode and a power switch and further comprising:
calculating a voltage drop, an on resistance, a least one of a power loss of the diode and a power loss of the power switch, a power factor, and a modulation index in response to phase voltage and a filtered switch current; and
calculating conduction and switching loss of the at least one of the power switch and the diode in response to the voltage drop, the on resistance, the at least one of the power loss of the diode and the power loss of the power switch, the power factor, the modulation index and a switching strategy/frequency.
