  • Patent number: 11283389
    Abstract: A motor system includes first and second solid-state relays disposed between an inverter configured to control energization to a first coil set of a motor and an in-vehicle battery for supplying power to the inverter, and connected in series in this order in a direction from the inverter to the battery. The first solid-state relay has a first diode of which a forward direction is from the battery to the inverter. The second solid-state relay has a second diode of which a forward direction is from the inverter to the battery. Motor relays, each having a third diode of which a forward direction is from the neutral point to the inverter, are connected to the phase coils of the first coil set. When power supply from the battery to the inverter is interrupted, the first solid-state relay is turned off after the motor relays are turned off.
