Patent number: 11394341Abstract: An over-temperature protection system and method for a DC capacitor of an inverter are provided. In the over-temperature protection system, a capacitor generates a DC voltage on both terminals thereof. An inverter converts the DC voltage generated on the both terminals of the capacitor into an AC voltage and supplies the AC voltage to a motor.
