Components And Component Location: Components
Inverter (MCU)
- An inverter supplies AC current to the drive motor and HSG.
- Depending on the driving conditions, the drive motor and HSG of the integrated board (control board) may act as a generator.
Integrated board (control board)
- One CPU controls two motors (drive motor and HSG)
- Sensors send the position, current, and temperature information to the CPU. The CPU generates the pulse width modulation signal and sends it to the gate board.
Capacitor
- Capacitor is an energy storage device for smoothing the current.
Current sensor
- Current sensor measures the current that flows through the motor, and is attached to each phase of a 3 - phase busbar.
Power module
- Power module has six switches that are used to convert DC current to AC current.
Heat sink
- Heat sink dissipates the heat of the coolant and is located between the power module and the cooling path.
