TRIANGULAR ALTERNATING CURRENT CHOKE FOR A TRACTION MOTOR OF A VEHICLE

A vehicle is provided that includes a traction motor. The traction motor includes a direct current (DC) capacitor and a power printed circuit board (PCB) that converts DC electrical power received from the DC capacitor to alternating current (AC) electrical power. The traction motor further includes a stator having windings. The traction motor further includes a first phase connection, a second phase connection, and a third phase connection disposed between the power PCB/module and the windings of the stator. The first, second, and third phase connections provide an electrical connection between the power PCB/module and the windings of the stator and being arranged in a triangular configuration to provide the AC electrical power to the windings of the stator. The traction motor further includes a triangular alternating current choke surrounding the first phase connection, the second phase connection, and the third phase connection in the triangular configuration.
