    摘要: An automotive power module has a plurality of power cards stacked to form an inverter module, and a DC-link capacitor mounted against the inverter module. Each of the power cards includes a top cover having opposite sides. One of the sides has extended therefrom a first matrix of pins. Each of the power cards also includes a plurality of integrated circuits defining transistors of an inverter mounted on the other of the sides, terminals extending from a perimeter of the top cover and in electrical communication with the integrated circuits, and a bottom cover having extended therefrom a second matrix of pins.

    摘要: A bi-directional variable voltage converter transfers power between a traction battery and an electric machine inverter. The bi-directional variable voltage converter includes a capacitor, two power module phase legs, and an air-gapped transformer with three windings and no more than four terminals. A first of the windings defines a first terminal and a second terminal of the no more than four terminals. The first terminal is directly electrically connected with a positive terminal of the traction battery and the second terminal is directly electrically connected with a positive terminal of the capacitor and a junction between the second and third windings. A second of the windings defines a third terminal of the no more than four terminals directly electrically connected with one of the power module phase legs. A third of the windings defines a fourth terminal of the no more than four terminals directly electrically connected with the other of the power module phase legs.

    摘要: A variable voltage converter transfers charge between a battery and a DC link. A first inductor couples a positive battery node and a first node. A first transistor selectably couples the first node to a negative battery node. A first capacitor has a negative terminal coupled to the negative battery node. A second inductor couples a positive terminal of the first capacitor to a second node. A second capacitor has a positive terminal coupled to the first node. A second transistor selectably couples the second node to a negative terminal of the second capacitor. When the transistors are non-conducting, the second inductor charges the DC link and the first inductor charges the first and second capacitors. When the transistors are conducting, the inductors are energized in parallel by the battery and the first and second capacitors. High voltage gain is obtained at relatively low values for the PWM duty cycle.

    摘要: A powertrain for a vehicle includes a Y-wound generator, a Y-wound motor, a generator inverter, a motor inverter, and a traction battery. The Y-wound generator and Y-wound motor are coupled via each respective neutral terminal. The generator inverter is coupled between the Y-wound generator and a generator bus and the motor inverter is coupled between the Y-wound motor and a motor bus. The traction battery has a first terminal coupled to each neutral terminal and a second terminal coupled to bus terminals of the generator and motor bus.
