Abstract: An electronics assembly includes a motor controller electronics arrangement with a solid-state switch array, a feeder cable connected to the motor controller and in electrical communication with the solid-state switch array, and a phase change material body. The phase change material body is thermally coupled to the feeder cable and arranged outside of the motor controller to limit conduction of heat generated by resistive heating of the feeder cable into the motor controller and through the feeder cable. Vehicles, electrical systems, and methods of cooling feeder cables in motor controller electronics arrangements are also described.

Abstract: A stator includes a stator hub and a plurality of stator teeth extending from the stator hub that define a stator slot having a stator slot base. At least one winding is disposed in the stator slot and the stator also includes a back iron. The winding surrounds the back iron and is held apart from the stator slot base so that a fluid channel is defined between an inner winding portion of the at least one winding so fluid can be passed between the stator slot base and the inner winding portion to cool the inner winding portion.

Abstract: An electric motor system includes an electric motor, and a thermal management system. The thermal management system includes a two-phase refrigerant circuit circulating a flow of refrigerant through the electric motor, and a refrigerant-air heat exchanger fluidly connected to the electric motor via the two-phase refrigerant circuit, such that the flow of refrigerant is boiled via heat generated by the electric motor, and returned to a subcooled liquid state to cool the electric motor. A method of dissipating thermal energy from an electric motor includes urging a flow of refrigerant through an electric motor, thereby boiling the flow of refrigerant, directing the flow of refrigerant from the electric motor to a refrigerant-air heat exchanger via a two-phase refrigerant circuit, and cooling the refrigerant to a sub-cooled liquid state at the refrigerant-air heat exchanger via thermal energy exchange with a flow of air through the refrigerant-air heat exchanger.

Abstract: A motor drive architecture is provided. The motor drive architecture includes a three-dimensional (3D) stack of cold plates on which power electronic components for an electric machine are mountable and supporting structures. Each cold plate has an annular shape with internal fluid pathways. The supporting structures hold the cold plates in the 3D stack. At least one supporting structure defines an internal cavity bifurcated into an internal inlet fluid pathway configured to direct fluid into the internal fluid pathways of each cold plate and an internal outlet fluid pathway receptive of the fluid from the internal fluid pathways of each cold plate.

Abstract: An electronics assembly including a motor controller electronics arrangement includes a housing enclosing a solid-state switch array, a cold plate arranged within the housing and in thermal communication with the solid-state switch array, and a feeder cable. The feeder cable is electrically connected to the solid-state switch array, has a coolant jacket extending thereabout, is separated from the switch arrangement by the housing, and is in liquid communication with the cold plate to limit heat communicated by the feeder cable into the housing. Electrical systems and methods of cooling feeder cables are also described.
