Abstract
A system includes: an inverter configured to convert DC power from a battery to AC power to drive a motor, wherein the inverter includes: one or more switches; and one or more controllers configured to: determine a gate voltage to operate the one or more switches of the inverter based on a temperature of the inverter; operate the one or more switches based on a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal and the gate voltage to initiate an active discharge of a bus voltage of the inverter; and while the bus voltage is greater than a first threshold voltage, accelerate the active discharge of the bus voltage by operating the one or more switches and by performing one or more of increasing the gate voltage or decreasing a wait time following a pulse of the PWM signal.
