Abstract:
The technology used in the design of the high power density Electric Vehicle (EV) power inverters packaging (power modules electrical, thermal and thermo-mechanical properties) directly affect the power inverter performance, cost, reliability, efficiency and power density. In this paper the technical trends and advances in EV power module packaging technologies will be reviewed and actual manufactured automotive power modules will be evaluated. Advantages and disadvantages of such modules will be highlighted.
