Abstract
A motor control assembly is configured to operate an electric motor and includes a control housing and a controller. The control housing presents a controller chamber. The controller includes a control board mounted within the controller chamber. The controller further includes an inductor attached to the control housing and positioned within the controller chamber adjacent the control board. The inductor defines maximum first and second inductor dimensions measured along corresponding first and second directions parallel to a board plane and orthogonal to one another. The inductor further defines a maximum third inductor dimension measured along a third direction transverse to the board plane, with at least one of the first and second inductor dimensions being less than the maximum third inductor dimension.
