Design of 15 kW, 440 V Three Phase Induction Motor for Electrical Vehicle Applications with Improved Efficiency and Wide Speed Range

Designing of a 3-phase squirrel cage induction motor (IM) for high performance applications with high efficiency, high power factor and torque is a challenging task for a machine designer. This work proposes an efficient 15 kW induction motor with high speed operation for electric vehicle applications. The rotor and stator slot dimensions of IM are analyzed which affects the performance parameters. The IM is designed using JMAG software and the results are presented.
