Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The power inverter module, often referred to as the drive motor generator power inverter module, contains two motor control modules and the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1. The motor control modules operate their respective drive motor based upon power inverter module commands. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 controls the auxiliary transmission fluid pump. The pump motor utilizes 3 phase AC electricity. The motor stator coil is comprised of three phase circuits. The phase circuits are identified as phase U, phase V and phase W. The U-V-W phase circuits are connected in a wye configuration. This means each phase is connected at a single, central point. The motor control modules monitor a current sensor connected to each motor phase. The current sensor is part of the power inverter module assembly and is not serviced separately. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 is part of the power inverter module and is not serviced separately.
