Virtual Modelling and Loss Study of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor used in Electric Pickup Truck

Electric vehicles (EV) are getting common nowadays. Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) are one of the widely employed motors in EV applications. High power density, efficiency, compact size etc make them an excellent candidate for EV propulsion. The paper discusses design, virtual modeling and loss study of a PMSM, used in an electric pickup truck, using Ansys Maxwell.
