The third training unit focuses on the electric drive components such as e-motors, inverters and the coupled transmissions. The most important types of machines are introduced, their functionality, characteristics and properties discussed. Cooling possibilities are also given, and safety aspects presented. Furthermore, an outlook on future technologies is given.
This element provides an overview on all components needed for an electric drive system. These components are the battery, the inverter, the e-motor and other auxiliaries like the DC/DC converter, and chargers. It also describes the high voltage net in an electric vehicle.
