An electric motor includes a case, a stator having stator windings, a rotor having a rotor shaft, and at least one main rotor bearing coupling the rotor shaft to the case. Common mode charge builds up on the rotor due to imbalances of the stator. The at least one main rotor bearing has a first electrical resistance between the rotor shaft and the case. The electric motor further includes a rotor discharge bearing coupling the rotor shaft to the case. The rotor discharge bearing has a second electrical resistance between the rotor shaft and the case that is less than the first electrical resistance, causing the common mode charge to discharge through the rotor discharge bearing. In a differing embodiment, a rotor discharge brush coupled between the case and the rotor shaft along the longitudinal axis of the rotor shaft discharges the common mode charge.

Kindly cancel the previous version of the Abstract of the Disclosure and replace with the new (substitute) Abstract of the Disclosure shown below: An electric motorization system includes a motorized unit equipped with a motor provided with a rotor and stator assembly including several coils, and a frequency converter which is electrically powered by a power supply. The frequency converter is controlled by a monitoring/control unit for turning on the motor in a variable speed operating mode, or for turning off the motor. The electric motorization also includes a measurement system suitable for measuring at least one condensation parameter which is representative of a condensation of the water contained in an ambient air, and the monitoring/control unit is configured to, depending on said condensation parameter, control the frequency converter during the turning off of the motor so that a preheating electric current flows through the coils to activate a preheating of the motor when it is turned off.

The motor-driven compressor includes an electric motor, a housing, a compression portion, and an inverter device. The inverter device includes an inverter circuit, a current sensor, a coordinate converter, a speed controller, a current controller, a PWM controller, and a rotation angle estimator. The speed controller generates a d-axis current command value and a q-axis current command value such that a necessary torque to drive the electric motor occurs. The inverter device includes a heat-generating current command section that increases a temperature of the electric motor by changing the d-axis current command value and the q-axis current command value. The heat-generating current command section changes the d-axis current command value and the q-axis current command value so as to shift them in a direction in which a d-axis current value increases along a constant torque curve in a d-q coordinate system.

A method for processing an asynchronous motor includes obtaining indication trigger information; and injecting, in response to the indication trigger information, a first current into a stator winding of the asynchronous motor, where the first current is for generating heat without a torque for the asynchronous motor, and the heat heats a battery pack through a heat exchanger.

An electric drive unit for a motor vehicle includes an electrical machine having a stator and a rotor. An inverter having a first switch unit energizes a first phase system (U, V, W) of the stator. A transmission is connected to the rotor for torque transmission. A lubricant circuit lubricates the transmission and/or cools the rotor. A first cooling circuit cools the first switch unit. A lubricant-coolant heat exchanger thermally couples the first coolant circuit and the lubricant circuit. A control device provides a dissipation-increasing operating mode for the first switch unit in order to increase a dissipation heating a coolant of the first coolant circuit. The lubricant-coolant heat exchanger transfers heat from the heated coolant to the lubricant circuit in order to reduce a viscosity of a lubricant.
