    Abstract: A turbomachine includes a housing and a rotating group that is supported for rotation about an axis of rotation within the housing. The turbomachine also includes a turbomachine stage including a wheel of the rotating group supported within a turbomachine housing of the housing. The turbomachine further includes an e-machine section including an e-machine that is housed within an e-machine housing of the housing. The e-machine is operably coupled to the rotating group and configured to operate as at least one of a motor and a generator. Moreover, the turbomachine includes an integrated controller that extends in a circumferential direction about the axis of rotation. The integrated controller is configured for controlling the e-machine. Additionally, the turbomachine includes a thermally decoupled fastener arrangement that attaches the integrated controller to the e-machine housing. The fastener arrangement thermally decouples the integrated controller from the turbomachine stage.

    Abstract: A turbomachine includes a rotating group with a wheel supported on a shaft. The turbomachine includes a housing that houses the wheel for rotation therein about an axis of rotation. The turbomachine includes an e-machine section with an e-machine operatively connected to the shaft and configured to convert energy between the e-machine and the shaft as the shaft rotates. Furthermore, the turbomachine includes a controller configured for control of the e-machine. The controller has a bus bar member that includes a bus bar that is partly covered over by an electrically-insulative covering member. The bus bar includes a thermal terminal surface that is exposed from the covering member. The controller includes a heat sink member, wherein the thermal terminal surface is thermally connected to the heat sink member with the heat sink member configured to receive heat from the bus bar member.
