Integrated motor and motor drive unit

摘要

An electric motor and motor drive unit assembly includes a motor assembly having a housing and a motor rotatably coupled within the housing. A power distribution bus is coupled to the housing. The power distribution bus is coupled to an end cap of the motor. A plurality of semiconductor switches are coupled to the power distribution bus. The motor and drive assembly further includes a drive assembly having a case coupled to the power distribution bus. The case is electrically isolated from and is in thermal communication with the power distribution bus. The case has a plurality of openings therethrough. An interconnect circuit board is disposed within the case and is electrically coupled to the power distribution bus through the plurality of openings. A system control board is disposed within the case and is electrically coupled to the interconnect board.
