SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DECOUPLING CAPACITOR FOR INVERTER FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE

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 first decoupling capacitor configured to be connected to a positive connection of the battery and a negative connection of the battery; and a first power module including: a first upper phase switch configured to control a first upper phase flow of current between the positive connection of the battery and a first phase connection of the motor, and a first lower phase switch configured to control a first lower phase flow of current between a negative connection of the battery and the first phase connection of the motor.
