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: a bulk capacitor; one or more phase switches; and one or more controllers configured to control a gate voltage to the one or more phase switches to discharge the bulk capacitor, wherein the one or more controllers is configured to control the gate voltage based on one or more of a measured temperature of the one or more phase switches or an estimated temperature of the one or more phase switches.
