Triangular alternating current choke for a traction motor of a vehicle

A traction motor for a vehicle, the traction motor comprising:

• a direct current (DC) capacitor;
• a power printed circuit board (PCB) that converts DC electrical power received from the DC capacitor to alternating current (AC) electrical power;
• a stator comprising windings;
• a first phase connection, a second phase connection, and a third phase connection disposed between the power PCB/module and the windings of the stator, the first phase connection, the second phase connection, and the third phase connection providing an electrical connection between the power PCB/module and the windings of the stator and being arranged in a triangular configuration to provide the AC electrical power to the windings of the stator;
• and
• a triangular alternating current (AC) choke surrounding the first phase connection, the second phase connection, and the third phase connection in the triangular configuration, wherein a cross section of the triangular AC choke through which the first phase connection, the second phase connection, and the third phase connection in the triangular configuration pass through the triangular AC choke is defined by a substantially equilateral triangle.

A triangular alternating current (AC) choke comprising:

• a first portion;
• a second portion connected to the first portion and forming a first substantially sixty-degree angle;
• and
• a third portion connected to the first portion and forming a second substantially sixty-degree angle and connected to the second portion and forming a third substantially sixty-degree angle,
• wherein the triangular AC choke defines an opening through which a first phase connection, a second phase connection, and a third phase connection pass.
