An electric drive with motor integrated power electronics for the use in hybrid electric vehicles is presented. Novel technologies and specially designed components to fulfil the excessive temperature and restricted space requirements are shown. They allow a low cost full integration of the electric drive in a passenger car power train. The converter has circular shape and is inserted in the stator housing around the end windings of the induction motor (see Fig. 1). The projected peak power of the electric drive is 50 kW. The battery voltage range is 200 – 400 V. Experimental results of investigations at a first prototype show the potentials of the proposed integration technologies.
