Design and Test of IPMSM for Traction Applications of Small Utility Vehicles

Abstract

This paper present the design and the experimental verification of a 12-slots/10-poles interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) for small utility vehicle. This publication discusses the choice of the topology for a direct drive, high torque density, wide constant power speed range ratio (CPSR). Performances of the constructed prototype measured on the test bench have confirmed the finite element analysis (FEA) results.
