Abstract
An electric machine that includes a stator operably coupled with a rotor. At least one axially extending housing member is thermally coupled with the stator core and defines a plurality of axially extending fluid passages. An end cap defines a plurality of end turn fluid passages interconnecting the axially extending fluid passages. The end turn fluid passages are arranged circumferentially about and proximate a first axial end of the stator whereby the axially extending fluid passages and end turn passages define a serpentine path. An electronic component thermally coupled with the end cap is disposed radially inward and axially proximate the plurality of end turn fluid passages. The electronic component may be at least partially axially positioned between the distal limit of the stator windings and the axial limit of the serpentine path. In alternative embodiments, the end cap supports a bearing assembly for the rotor shaft.
