ELECTRIC DRIVE SYSTEM HAVING COOLING STRATEGY

摘要

An electric drive system (14) for a work machine (10) is disclosed. The electric drive system has a first traction device (22) configured to propel the work machine and a first motor (26) drivingly connected to the first traction device. The electric drive system also has a second traction device (22) configured to propel the work machine and a second motor (26) drivingly connected to the second traction device. The electric drive system further has a sensor (38, 40) configured to monitor at least one parameter indicative of a temperature of the first motor and to generate a signal corresponding to the temperature. The electric drive system additionally has a controller (44) in communication with the sensor and the second motor. The controller is configured to change a torque output of the second motor in response to the signal.
