IMA Motor Voltage

3416 Views 6 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Insight Driver
I am somewhat confused as I try to figure out the battery Module/Motor Drive Module/ IMA Motor relationship. Obviously the battery is DC but according to the literature the MDM converts the DC to AC for the IMA motor. But the IMA motor literature says it is a DC motor. This just does'nt seem to work. Can anyone clarify this for me?

Thanks

Thanks Armin, this is making more sense. I assume then that the output of this type of motor when driven will then be the three phase AC. Will this type of motor have in-rush currents similar to standard AC motors or will the electronics reduce or eliminate the in-rush current?

Thanks
