    摘要: The present invention includes a method for thermal management in a voltage source inverter. The method includes sensing a low output frequency condition, determining a zero vector modulation responsive to the sensed low output frequency condition, and applying the determined zero vector modulation to reduce thermal stress in the voltage source inverter. The step of determining the zero vector modulation responsive to the sensed low output frequency condition includes mapping an output voltage requirement to a space vector structure and determining state switching space vectors based on the mapped output voltage requirement. The step of determining the state switching space vector includes determining active state switching space vectors associated with the state switching space vectors, determining duty cycles for the active state switching space vectors based on the active state switching space vectors, and determining a duty cycle for at least one zero state switching space vector based on the determined duty cycles of the active state switching space vectors and a switching period.

    摘要: In order to provide a modular arrangement, an inverter for an electric traction motor used to drive an automotive vehicle is positioned in proximity with the traction motor. The inverter is located within a compartment adjacent to one end of the electric traction motor and is cooled in a closed system by spraying a liquid coolant directly onto the inverter. The liquid coolant absorbs heat from the inverter and is cooled by a heat exchange arrangement comprising a reservoir with pipes carrying a second coolant from the radiator of the automotive vehicle. In a preferred embodiment, the coolant is collected from the inverter in an annular reservoir that is integral with the compartment containing the inverter. In accordance with one embodiment of the cooling arrangement, heat from the inverter vaporizes the liquid coolant by absorbing heat from the inverter during a phase change from a liquid to a vapor. The vaporized coolant is condensed by a circulating second coolant in pipes connected to the vehicle's radiator through a condenser that is preferably coaxial with the motor and the annular reservoir, which annular reservoir in the second embodiment collects overspray liquid coolant. In order to avoid degrading the inverter, the coolant is a dielectric fluid.
