Method of discharging a high-power component, power electronics arrangement according to this method, and motor vehicle with a power electronics arrangement

Abstract

A method of discharging a high-power component of a motor vehicle, wherein the high-power component includes a plurality of transistors connected to form a multiphase T-type converter circuit. The method includes: generating, by a gate driver, control voltages for the transistors, wherein an electrical current flow of a drain-source channel of each of the transistors is controlled by the control voltages, wherein, for discharging the high-power component, each of the transistors of the multiphase T-type converter circuit is brought into a discharge state by way of the control voltages, wherein the drain-source channel of each of the transistors realizes a resistance, and wherein the discharging of the high-power component takes place by way of the resistance realized by the drain-source channel of each of the plurality of transistors.
