An electronic package adapted for connection to a rear frame member of an electric machine. The electronic package includes a cooling tower having first and second axial ends. The cooling tower includes a metallic wall defining radially inner and outer wall surfaces and extending about the package central axis. The radially inner wall surface defines an axially extending air passage through the cooling tower with an inlet proximate the first axial end. Spaced metallic ribs are in conductive thermal communication with the radially inner wall surface traverse and the air passage. Power electronics devices are attached in conductive thermal communication to the radially outer wall surface. The cooling tower provides a heat sink for the power electronics devices with a primary cooling path for each of the power electronics device extending radially inwardly to the cooling tower. An electric machine including such an electronic package is also disclosed. |
