The disclosure describes techniques to filter unwanted noise from feedback signals of an electrical machine. An electrical machine may receive AC power from an inverter and circuitry in the inverter may cause noise on the AC power signals to the electrical machine. The noise may couple to sensors for the electrical machine and cause noise in the sensor output signals. The sensor output signals may provide feedback for a closed loop control system for the electrical machine and noise may impact the closed loop operation. Also, the noise in the feedback signals may cause electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues, either by direct radiated emissions or by coupling to other circuits in the vehicle wiring harness as the feedback signals travel from the electrical machine. The techniques of this disclosure may include filter circuitry located near or inside the electrical machine that filters out the unwanted noise in the feedback signals.

A coil component includes: a core having first and second shafts arranged in a line, and first and second opposed members; a case supporting the core and having a housing accommodating the core, and first and second outer walls opposing each other; a coil wound around the first and second shafts; and first and second metal terminals being electrically connected to the coil and being provided at the first and second outer walls, respectively. The first and second opposed members are opposed to each other and sandwich the first and second shafts therebetween.

An EMI filter for an inverter may include a choke including a magnetic inner core, a magnetic outer core, and at least one conductor pair. The at least one conductor pair may include an electrically conductive positive conductor and an electrically conductive negative conductor.

The positive conductor and the negative conductor may be arranged between the inner core and the outer core. The positive conductor and the negative conductor may be arranged spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction extending around the longitudinal central axis. A gap may be formed between the inner core, the outer core, the positive conductor, and the negative conductor, which are adjacent in the circumferential direction.
