  • Publication number: 20240142505
    Abstract: A method is provided for testing switch signals of an inverter of an electric machine of a drive system of a motor vehicle. The electric machine is controlled via a pulse-width modulation generated by a control unit using a target duty cycle and a triangular-waveform voltage sequence. An actual duty cycle of a current pulse-width modulation is continuously ascertained from the switch signals and compared with the target duty cycle of the control unit.

  • Publication number: 20240100964
    Abstract: An inverter device includes a connection device and a housing in which an inverter circuit, a switching device and a control device are accommodated. The inverter circuit is connected to a direct current (DC) circuit and to an electric machine via the connection device, and the switching device is connected to the DC circuit and to resistor via the connection device. The inverter circuit is actuated by the control device to operate the electric machine, and the switching device is actuated by the control device to selectively energize one of the resistor or the DC circuit via the inverter circuit.

  • Publication number: 20240072714
    Abstract: An electrical circuit arrangement includes an inverter, a driver circuit and a protective circuit. The inverter includes a plurality of inverter switching elements each having a drive connection. The drive connection of at least one inverter switching element is connected to the driver circuit via a first switching element of the protective circuit (6). A drive connection of the first switching element is connected to a circuit node, which is connected to a first potential via a resistor and to a second potential via a second switching element.

  • Publication number: 20220225529
    Abstract: A power electronics system for an electric motor of a motor vehicle drive includes a first busbar, a second busbar which is electrically insulated relative to the first busbar, and at least one capacitor. The at least one capacitor, by way of its first electrode, makes contact with a plate-like receiving region of the first busbar and, by way of its second electrode, makes contact with a plate-like receiving region of the second busbar. At least one of the two busbars is of hollow design, with direct formation of a cooling duct.
