Abstract

A vehicle includes a power converter having an inductor electrically disposed between a traction battery and an electric machine. The vehicle includes a controller configured to reduce a power limit of the power converter. The reduction is responsive to an increase of a ratio of voltage across the inductor to a rate of change of current through the inductor.
