The electrical machine electronics is liquid-cooled and integrated in its own low temperature cooling circuit. The electric coolant pump is activated depending on the current cooling requirement. During this the coolant takes on a maximum temperature of approx. 85 °C (reverse).
Already when terminal 15 is switched on, the power electronic circuits of the electrical machine electronics function. In this way, the high-voltage electrical system (electric A/C compressor and electric auxiliary heater) and the 12 V vehicle electrical system are supplied with energy by the DC/DC converter. If due to the resulting heat a cooling requirement is detected, the coolant pump is switched on.
While the high-voltage battery is being charged, the power electronics in the charging electronics functions. Due to the high electrical power, which is being implemented in the charging electronics, heat also arises. This must be discharged. This is why while charging during a respective high temperature, the electrical machine electronics switches on the electric coolant pump.
