Abstract

In this study, a high-efficiency permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) was designed for a geared electric vehicle. The motor was developed for use in an L-category electric vehicle with four wheels and a two-passenger capacity. During the design process, application-specific dimensional constraints, electromagnetic requirements, and material limitations were taken into consideration. A spoke-type rotor structure was adopted to achieve both mechanical robustness and high efficiency with minimized leakage flux. In addition, the combination of a 12-stator slot and a 10-rotor pole was selected to suppress low-order harmonic components and improve torque smoothness. The motor model was analyzed using Siemens Simcenter SPEED software (Product Version 2020.3.1), and an efficiency above 94% was achieved, meeting the IE6 efficiency class. Magnetic flux analysis results showed that the selected core material operated within the magnetic saturation limits. The findings demonstrate that a compact and high-efficiency PMSM design is feasible for electric vehicle applications.
