Abstract

System and methods for motor drive electronics are provided. Aspects include receiving, by a controller on a motor driver electronics (MDE) component, voltage data associated with a thermoelectric generator, wherein the MDE component is configured to operate an electric motor, and wherein the MDE component comprises a power card including one or more components, determining a temperature reading based on the voltage data, enacting an action associated with the MDE component based at least in part on the temperature reading.
