  • Publication number: 20240116366
    Abstract: In a control method of a motor drive system, when a first motor corresponding to a first drive wheel is being driven in a second drive mode among a first drive mode in which the first motor is driven by a first inverter of the motor drive system and connected to a first end of each of coils of the first motor and the second drive mode in which the first motor is driven by the first inverter and a second inverter connected to a second end of each of the coils and configured to selectively operate, whether or not the second inverter malfunctions is determined. When the second inverter malfunctions, a drive mode is changed so that the first motor is driven in the first drive mode. An output limit of the first motor in the first drive mode is relaxed.

  • Patent number: 11865929
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling charging of an electric vehicle is configured to calculate a rotor torque expected to occur during charging based on an angle of a rotor provided in a driving motor before charging is performed by multiple input voltages, and allow charging to be performed after inducing the rotor torque to be less than a reference torque by moving the electric vehicle a specified distance to correct the rotor angle when the calculated rotor torque is greater than the reference torque so as to avoid deterioration or damage to a parking sprag. As a result, it is possible to prevent the parking sprag from being damaged by the rotor torque generated during charging so as to avoid the occurrence of an accident.
