An inductor for a converter of an electric machine includes a core defining a channel configured to receive transmission fluid on an outer surface of the core. Coils made of windings are wrapped on the core. The windings enclose an open side of the channel to define an oil flow passage, wherein oil flowing through the oil flow passage is in direct contact with both the windings and the core to absorb heat from the windings and the core.
