System Description
DESCRIPTION
The traction motor inverter applies AC power to the traction motor according to the target motor torque signal calculated by VCM in order to generate drive force.

| The drive torque from the traction motor is output as kinetic energy. | The AC power from the traction motor inverter is converted to magnetic energy and a rotating magnetic field is created in order to generate drive torque. | The traction motor inverter (IGBT) switches in order to convert the DC power from the Li-ion battery to AC power. | The DC power from the Li-ion battery is input to the traction motor inverter. |
