Abstract: A power supply control circuit of a three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor is provided. The control circuit includes means for calculating the DC current consumption IS based on a phase current signal Ishunt of the BLDC motor, the means including a shunt resistor Rshunt, an amplifier and a low pass filter. The amplifier is configured to amplify a measured voltage Vshunt that corresponds to the current Ishunt across the resistor Rshunt and perform an offset correction. The low pass filter is configured to provide a filtered voltage VO of the voltage Vshunt. The DC current IS is calculated based on the voltage VO.

Abstract: A filter module for reducing differential and common mode electrical noise may include at least a first electrically conductive busbar and a second electrically conductive busbar spaced apart from the first busbar, an at least partially electrically conductive housing at least partially enclosing the first busbar and the second busbar, at least a first common mode choke and a second common mode choke arranged in the housing and spaced apart from each other, at least a first bypass capacitor electrically connected to the first busbar and the second bus bar, at least a second bypass capacitor electrically connected to the first busbar and a midpoint, and at least a third bypass capacitor electrically connected to the second busbar and the midpoint.
