  • Publication number: 20240097577
    Abstract: An inverter is provided that includes a direct current (DC) bus bar assembly positioned within a DC chamber in the housing is provided herein. The inverter further includes a gate-driver circuit board included in a phase-control chamber in the housing, and an external communication interface in electronic communication with a power control circuit board and positioned in an external communication chamber in the housing. The DC chamber, the phase-control chamber, and the external communication chamber have varying levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI).

  • Publication number: 20240015916
    Abstract: An inverter is provided herein. The inverter includes, in one example, a direct current (DC) bus bar assembly electrically connected to a capacitor and a current sensor and an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering capacitor on a circuit board. The inverter further includes a power module electrically coupled to a capacitor and an alternating current (AC) bus bar assembly, where the AC bus bar assembly includes multiple phase bus bars.

  • Patent number: 11647611
    Abstract: A thermal interface for discrete semiconductor devices (such as IGBT's) having a thermally conductive structure, a PCB populated with discrete electronic components, and each of the discrete semiconductor devices having a housing extending beyond the edge of the PCB and in a direction substantially parallel to a plane of the PCB, and a clamp bar secured to the thermally conductive structure adapted to compressively secure each housing to the thermally conductive structure and adapted to maintain thermal contact between a surface of each housing and the surface of the thermally conductive structure. A thermally conductive and electrically insulative pad is positioned between the semiconductor device housing and the thermally conductive structure. A casing enclosing the interface and PCB includes the thermally conductive structure formed on a backwall of the casing.
