Design of the Motor Module

The Motor Module comprises three phases. Each phase consists of 3 PowerCards in
configuration N=1 and five PowerCards in configuration N=2. For each configuration, a
PowerCard is equipped with neutral-point diodes. The other PowerCards are fitted with gate
turn-off power semiconductors (IGBT modules). Each PowerCard comprises a heat sink with
2 neutral-point diodes or 2 IGBT power semiconductors.
The IGBTs can limit and disconnect a short-circuit current. This means that a short-circuit
generally only results in the drive stopping, and damage to the device is avoided.
