Abstract

An aircraft has an electric motor to generate thrust and a power electronic module to provide power to the electric motor. The power electronic (PE) module has an output power to fluidly couple the electric motor and the PE module. The aircraft has an alternating current (AC) lead to electrically couple the PE module and the electric motor by way of the output port. The AC lead is submerged within the output port by a liquid coolant. The aircraft also has a cooling system including a heat extractor. The cooling system passes the liquid coolant through the PE module including the output port, then through the electric motor, and then through the heat extractor.
