  • Patent number: 12255601
    Abstract: A filter for an electric machine is disclosed. The filter has an inductor, which is a coil, and a capacitor. The coil has multiple windings, and each turn of the windings includes at least one conductor which is designed to be flat. By virtue of the flat conductor of the coil, the capacitance of the filter is thus formed in the coil itself In the process, the surface of one conductor is arranged opposite the surface of an adjacent conductor.

  • Publication number: 20230208340
    Abstract: A method is provided for operating a multi-phase inverter connected to an electric machine using a control device, wherein the inverter comprises a plurality of switch devices and the control device controls the inverter to adjust a control variable by means of space vector modulation. The method includes providing a number of possible space vectors for representing the control variable according to a number of phases of the inverter. The method further includes assigning each possible space vector a disturbance variable in the electric machine occurring in a switching state of the switch devices of the inverter described by the respective space vector. The method further includes selecting one or more control space vectors according to the control variable from the number of possible space vectors for representing the control variable. The selected one or more control space vectors represent control variable and have the respective smallest associated disturbance variable of the possible space vectors.

  • Publication number: 20230124909
    Abstract: A power electronics device comprises a power semiconductor, a first circuit board controllingly connected to the power semiconductor, a lead frame connecting the power semiconductor and the first circuit board. The power semiconductor is connected to at least one contacting region of the lead frame in such a way that heat can be transferred from the power semiconductor to the lead frame and can be conducted away from the lead frame by the power semiconductor The power electronics device further comprises a housing , which borders at least regions of a fluid reservoir accommodating a coolant fluid. The power semiconductor and the lead frame are arranged in the fluid reservoir and are configured to transfer heat to the coolant fluid.
