Description
IPMSM is mainly used as the traction motor of HEV and EV, because it has the high torque density and the wide operating range. Especially the size limit of traction motor exists in HEV, because HEV system consist of the engine and the electric propulsion systems at limited space. Many studies have been conducted to maximize the torque of a single air gap IPMSM with the size constraints. In some studies, there are ways to maximize the air-gap flux density by changing the shape and arrangement of the permanent magnet of the rotor with the fixed stator outer diameter, stack length and rotor outer diameter. In some studies, there are ways to add to the cooling structure in order to improve the current density of stator. As a result, the improvements of air-gap flux density by magnet and current density improve the torque density of IPMSM. In this paper, the single air-gap IPMSM was validated by experiments after design for 120kW class traction motor of military trucks with water cooling in order to improve the torque density. In the process of designing, the ratio of stator and rotor that generates maximum torque in given size constraints exists regardless of the shape and arrangement of the permanent magnet. The analytical approach to calculate its ratio was proposed in this paper. And the analytical approach was validated by FEA.
