Air-Conditioning Compressor



Air-conditioning Compressor










As a consumer with maximum power requirements of 3.2 kW, the air-conditioning compressor was connected to the 288 V NiMH battery power supply. The power electronics supply a DC voltage from the battery to the air-conditioning compressor via a high-voltage cable. A fuse for the air-conditioning compressor is integrated in the power electronics.







NOTE: See "Air conditioning" assembly for further information.

While all remaining connections to the power electronics are single-wire cables, the connecting line to the air-conditioning compressor incorporates four wires, two poles for the direct current supply and two pilot lines to safeguard the integrity of the overall system.

The motor on the air-conditioning compressor is a three-phase motor (brushless direct current motor). The direct current is converted to a three-phase alternating current of 3 x 280 volts on the air-conditioning compressor.
