Circuit/System Description

The drive motor generator power inverter control module (PIM) contains two motor control modules (MCMs). Each MCM operates its respective drive motor generator based upon hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM) commands. Each MCM controls the speed, direction and output torque of its respective drive motor generator through the sequencing actuation of high current switching transistors called insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). Each IGBT assembly is monitored for fault conditions.
