It is a core component of electric vehicles and features CAN communication, overcurrent protection, overload protection, undervoltage protection, overvoltage protection, phase loss protection, energy feedback, power limiting, voltage interlock, and fault reporting. Motor controller technology is currently quite mature, characterized by high integration, high power density, long lifespan, and stable output.

[0004] However, the motor control unit of new energy vehicles is generally cooled by air, which is not very effective. If water cooling is used, the water will be at a high temperature after long-term use, which will affect the cooling of the motor control unit of the new energy vehicle. Summary of the Invention
