Abstract
Electric Vehicles make use of permanent magnet synchronous traction motors for their high torque density and efficiency. A comparison between interior permanent magnet (IPM) and surface mounted permanent magnet (SPM) motors is carried out, in terms of performance at given inverter ratings. A simplified analytical approach is proposed and its results are confirmed by actual motor design, validated through FEA. The main result of the proposed analysis is to put in evidence the different behavior of IPM and SPM motors in terms of overload capability: as expected, the overload current results in a power overload of the IPM motor, while in the SPM motor the maximum power is upper limited irrespectively of the current overload.Keywords
