ELECTRONICALLY COMMUTATED MOTORS FOR VEHICLE APPLICATIONS

New electronically commutated traction motors for electric vehicles may offer improved efficiency over a wider load range, lower weight, and potentially lower cost than conventional brush type machines. Two new electronically commutated traction motors are described along with predicted and measured performance data. The motors are being developed for NASA as part of the Department of Energy electric and hybrid vehicle program.
