Abstract

In this paper, the consequent pole-type brushless Permanent Magnet synchronous Motor (PMSM) is designed for an Electric Vehicle (EV) with a gross weight of 1800 kg. The EV is able to travel on a road with a maximum slope of 20% with a maximum speed of 100 km/h and a road without a slope with a maximum speed of 150 km/h. Due to the use of consequent method, the cost of magnets has been reduced. The PMSM motor is Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) type with a single-layer U-shaped PM. Results such as distribution of flux density, torque, core and ohmic losses have been obtained. The torque-speed and power-speed curve are one of the important diagrams of EV motor analysis that will be obtained. The results of the efficiency map show that the motor efficiency is mostly above 96%. The results and curves of PMSM performance are simulated in Maxwell software.
