  • Publication number: 20230421047
    Abstract: A drive device for a vehicle, including an electric machine having a stator housing, on whose outer circumference a pulse width modulated inverter housing is formed, in which a pulse width modulated inverter having at least one pulse width modulated inverter contact is arranged, which is connected to a stator contact via a contact bridge, an AC filter being assigned to the contact bridge to reduce common mode flows and/or for the purpose of EMC shielding. According to the invention, the AC filter is a component separate from the pulse width modulated inverter and may be mounted in the pulse width modulated inverter housing independently of the pulse width modulated inverter.
