    Eddy-Current Losses evaluation in hairpin wound motor fed by PWM Inverter

    No full text
    This paper presents different approaches proposed to evaluate eddy-current losses in hairpin wound motor fed by pulse width modulated inverter, underlining strengths and weaknesses of everyone and applying them, as test-case, to a 200kW induction motor designed for a premium electric vehicle. The first three approaches are based on the finite element analysis: the first, the more accurate one, use a transient analysis that request long execution time and high memory usage, the second is based on tool that permits rapidly to evaluate the steady state conditions imposing a sinewave current and the third uses a single-slot simplified model. The fourth approach proposes a rapid monodimensional analytic method based on hypotheses that permit to consider the superposition effects of the Eddy Current Losses of every current harmonic component. The fifth approach makes uses of the proposed analytic method by leveraging a rapid investigation of current harmonic content due to pulse width modulation based on a lumped parameter motor model. In addition, the paper discusses important considerations about the use of the hairpin technology fed by pulse width modulation that can be drawn from the analysis of the obtained result

    Efficient Calculation of PWM AC Losses in Hairpin Windings for Synchronous BPM Machines

    No full text
    This paper focuses on the alternative current (AC) losses in hairpin winding variation due to the skin and proximity effects in synchronous brushless permanent magnet machines when supplied from a pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter. Based on a motor used in a 200kW electrical drive unit, three main methodologies are investigated to demonstrate the importance of these additional losses and how it is possible to take them into account when modeling the electrical machine performance. A more rigorous approach and two more time-efficient ones are utilized for the purpose, showing powerful ways of taking into consideration the pulse width modulation induced eddy currents losses in stator conductors since the early stages of the design process. A reduction ratio of 30:1 in computation time gives the proposed methodologies great merit not only in modeling single operating points, but over the full torque-speed characteristic, efficiency maps, and drive/duty-cycles analyses

    Hairpin Windings for Traction Machines: Analysis and Comparison

    No full text
    This work investigates circulating currents and additional losses in hairpin windings with multiple parallel paths when a weak symmetry pattern is adopted. The theoretical rules for designing hairpin windings may lead to configurations not completely preventing parasitic currents in the parallel branches, especially in heavy saturation conditions. Often, the proposed configurations in the literature present a weak symmetry between the parallel branches. This paper considers a typical hairpin winding configuration to compute the actual currents in the parallel paths. For this purpose, machine models are driven by an external three-phase circuit and finite element analyses are carried out. The main goal is to explain the causes of circulating currents. The analysis is repeated using different rotor topologies and keeping respectively the same stator design, overall machine volume and hairpin winding pattern to look into the different effects in windings induced by parasitic currents
