Abstract :
This paper presents the design study of a traction motor used in electric vehicles. The design is a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) type with an inset permanent rotor configuration. With the given constant power speed range (CPSR), a design methodology is developed to reach the required specifications.
