Abstract
An electric machine includes a pair of substantially aligned sheet metal housing sections each including a substantially “L” shaped portion, at least one cooling channel being formed at an axial end between the two sections, and a plurality of power electronics components engaged with at least one of the housing sections adjacent the axial end cooling channel. An embodiment includes a stator, a pair of housing sections enclosing the stator, power electronics components positioned at an axial end of the electric machine for controlling operation of the electric machine, and a coolant flow path that includes a power electronics cooling channel formed at the axial end between the housing sections. A method includes forming an axial end cooling channel between two sheet metal housing sections, and positioning power electronics components at the axial end along the cooling channel, whereby heat from the electronics components is transferred to the cooling channel.
