Inverter module is used to power the
traction motor to run at a certain torque. It is a separate module that plugs into
control mother board to receive control power and signals and to send back inverter
voltage and current sense signals as feedback. It consists of various sub-modules for
various functions as listed below
- Inverter Mother Board
- UCC5870 ASIL-D Gate Driver
Module
- Gate Drive Power Supply
Module
- Voltage Sense Module
- Current Sense Module
A block diagram of the traction
inverter sub-system is shown in Figure 3-19.
A fully assembled picture of
inverter module is shown in Figure 3-20. Details of various sub-modules will be discussed in subsequent sections
The inverter module mounts flat on
headers J3, J4 and J6 of control mother board.
