    摘要: In an inverter that includes a smoothing capacitor and a plurality of power modules, the smoothing capacitor includes a plurality of columnar unit capacitors each having electrodes at both ends thereof, a one-end-side bus plate connected to the electrode at one end of each unit capacitor, and an other-end-side bus plate connected to the electrode at the other end of the unit capacitor. The unit capacitors are arranged, with axes thereof parallel to each other, side by side in a direction perpendicular to the axes. The unit capacitors are arranged at positions equally distant from a center of the inverter. A distance between each power module and the unit capacitor closest to the power module is constant.

    摘要: A vehicular power supply device to be applied to a vehicle includes an electric storage unit group, a charger, first and second switches, and a switch controller. The electric storage unit group includes a first electric storage unit and a second electric storage unit having higher internal resistance than the first electric storage unit. The charger is coupled to the electric storage unit group and charges one or both of the first electric storage unit and second electric storage unit. The first switch is provided between the first electric storage unit and the charger and controlled between an on state and an off state. The second switch is provided between the second electric storage unit and the charger and controlled between an on state and an off state. The switch controller controls the first and second switches based on a temperature of the electric storage unit group.

    摘要: A driver may comprise a first node, a second node, and processing circuitry. The first node is configured to receive a command from controller circuitry. The second node is configured to receive a commutation signal for activating or deactivating a switch. The processing circuitry is configured to determine, based on the received command, an activation setting for an activation characteristic for the switch and a deactivation setting for a deactivation characteristic for the switch and drive the switch based on the commutation signal. To drive the switch, the processing circuitry is configured to change, at a first time, the deactivation characteristic for the switch from a previous deactivation setting to the determined deactivation setting and change, at a second time that is different from the first time, the activation characteristic for the switch from a previous activation setting to the determined activation setting.

    摘要: In an electric power unit which accommodates at least an electric motor in a housing, polygonal rib regions in which polygonal ribs are respectively formed are provided on at least two surfaces of an outer peripheral surface of the housing, and the polygonal rib regions are connected by a circumferential rib. Here, a first axial rib and a second axial rib extending parallel to an axial direction are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the housing, and the polygonal rib region is provided in a portion sandwiched between the first axial rib and the second axial rib. Further, the circumferential rib is formed over the entire part of the polygonal rib region in a circumferential direction. Note that the polygonal rib is a honeycomb rib.

    摘要: An electric drive system including an impedance balancing noise filtering circuit is disclosed. The electric drive system includes a direct current (DC) power source configured to output DC power to an output port and an inverter configured to convert the DC power output by the DC power source into alternating current (AC) power that is provided to an input port of an AC load. The impedance balancing noise filtering circuit includes an impedance bridge electrically intermediate the output port of the DC power source and the input port of the AC load. The impedance balancing noise filtering circuit includes different sets of passive components that are positioned on both the DC-side and the AC-side of the inverter. These sets of passive components are configured to facilitate impedance balancing that reduces common-mode (CM) electromagnetic interference (EMI) emission at the output port of the DC power source.
