Single-tooth winding induction motor with external rotor for electric vehicle applications

Design aspects and FEM simulation results of a six-phase induction motor consisting of two three-phase single tooth concentrated windings with a 30° shift between, and an external rotor are presented in this paper. The main goal is to find a suitable candidate for electric vehicle applications which require simplified manufacturing process, reduced fabrication costs, and achieving high efficiencies at fractional loads at the same time.
