The Two-Step Approach to the Selection of a Traction Motor for Electric Vehicles

This chapter presents the two-step comparative analysis of electrical traction machines. The stable permanent demand of electrical drives requires appropriate selection of electrical machines to meet specific requirements. Different vehicles, such as aircraft, cars, ships and trains are considered here. Each kind of electric vehicle needs an electrical traction machine with unique parameters. The results show that the selection of the appropriate electrical machine will depend on the type of vehicle. Furthermore, in most cases there is always more than one appropriate machine type. Thus, the type of electrical traction machine has to be defined for each vehicle and a comparative analysis is a crucial tool here.
