Abstract

A motor includes a first inverter electrically connected to a first end of a winding of each phase, and a second inverter electrically connected to a second end of the winding of each phase. Each of the first and second inverters includes low-side switching elements and high-side switching elements. FETs of the first inverter are electrically connected to a first end of a U-phase winding. FETs of the second inverter are electrically connected to a second end of the U-phase winding. At least a portion of a current flowing from one of the FETs of the first inverter to the U-phase winding flows to one of the FETs of the second inverter. One of the FETs of the first inverter and one of the FETs of the second inverter are adjacent to each other.
