Integrated Starter Generator Module (ISGM) (4/263) [2020-2022]: Description

The Integrated Starter Generator Module (ISGM) consists of an electrical machine and an internal control module with an integrated inverter. It is connected to the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine, via the auxiliary drive belt (FEAD).

The Integrated Starter Generator Module (ISGM) performs two basic operations.

• Generator operation: The Integrated Starter Generator Module (ISGM) converts mechanical power to electrical power. The electrical power is used to charge the 12 V and 48 V batteries. To charge the 12 V battery the electrical power is converted by the Mid Voltage Converter Module (MVCM).
• Motor operation: The Integrated Starter Generator Module (ISGM) converts electrical power into mechanical power. The mechanical power is used for running the starter motor and for giving an electric boost for the internal combustion engine.
