Patent attributes
A power module that houses components of a circuit for driving a three-phase motor. The power module includes a molded shell. A number of leads are embedded within the body of the power shell and extend from its exterior where they make electrical connection to exterior devices to a chamber within the molded shell where they are connected to respective components of the circuit. The power module includes capacitor leads, which are embedded in the molded shell, for making direct connection to respective bus capacitors, thereby allowing the capacitors to be directly assembled onto the power shell and become part of the power module. The leads embedded within the molded shell are arranged so that they pass over one another within the body of the molded shell. At least one of the leads has a portion within the chamber which acts as bridge to allow the passage of conductors.
