Abstract

A power conversion system includes an inverter having a three-phase circuit including a plurality of power semiconductor devices and configured to supply driving power to a motor according to an applied torque command, and a controller configured to predict a maximum temperature of the inverter based on an actual measured temperature of any one of the plurality of power semiconductor devices and phase current of the motor, and to actively limit the torque command depending on the predicted maximum temperature of the inverter.
