| Abstract |
In this paper, the interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) for electric vehicles (EVs) using grain-oriented electrical steel (GO) is proposed. It was confirmed through the B-H characteristic curve and the B-W characteristic curve that the GO has superior magnetic characteristic compared to the non-grain-oriented electrical steel (NO). In order to maximize the effect of GO, the GO was partially applied to the stator teeth that has a uniform magnetic flux direction through magnetic path analysis of the EV traction motor. It has been confirmed that the output and various characteristics of the motor have improved with the application of GO. In particular, the iron loss was decreased by 44.83% in no-load condition. Moreover, the average torque and the efficiency were increased by 5.26%, 0.29%, respectively and the iron loss was decreased by 42.45% in load condition. The result of this study shows that the partial application of the GO in IPMSM improves the performance of the motor, effectively. |
