HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM - DETAILS - INVERTER

1. CONSTRUCTION
a. The inverter converts the boosted high-voltage direct current of the HV battery into 3-phase alternating current to drive MG1 and MG2.
b. The activation of the power transistors is controlled by the MG ECU. In addition, the inverter transmits information that is needed for
current control, such as the output amperage or voltage, to the hybrid vehicle control ECU via the MG ECU.
c. The power transistors used in the inverter are Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs).
d. Each of the bridge circuits for MG1 and MG2 contains 6 IGBTs, mounted on the high voltage and high current module portion of an
Intelligent Power Module (IPM). In addition, a signal processor/protective function processor has been integrated into the control portion
of the IPM. The IPM is used to operate the power transistors based on signals from the MG ECU. (2ZR-FXE Engine Models)
e. The bridge circuit of the inverter has 6 IGBTs for MG1 and 12 IGBTs for MG2 mounted on the highvoltageand high-current area of the
Intelligent Power Module (IPM). In addition, a signal processor/protective function processor has been integrated into the control portion
of the IPM. The IPM isused to operate the power transistors based on signals from the MG ECU. (M20A-FXA Engine Models)
