Abstract
An electromagnetic interference reduction assembly for a transmission is disclosed. A transmission casing includes a base and walls extending outwardly away from the base to a distal edge. The transmission casing defines a first cavity between the walls and includes a platform disposed between the walls. A power inverter module is disposed in the first cavity and supported by the platform when in the first cavity. The power inverter module generates electrical noise during operation which produces electromagnetic interference. A lid is attached to the distal edge of the walls to contain the power inverter module inside the first cavity. A grounding member engages the power inverter module and the lid when the lid is attached to the transmission casing to electrically connect the power inverter module to the lid to reduce the electrical noise exiting the first cavity which reduces the electromagnetic interference exiting the first cavity.
