Axial flux interior permanent magnet synchronous motor for small electric traction vehicle

Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of performances for studied electrical machine designed for the propulsion of a special electric vehicle. This special vehicle is an electric scooter, usually used by people with physical disabilities. This particular electric scooter can be used by elders as well, offering them greater mobility, since, due to their physical health they are becoming more isolated in society. The electrical machine under study in this paper is axial flux permanent magnet synchronous machine. The analysis of the studied machine will be made analytically, numerically and experimental. The obtained results of the proposed solution will be related to a special electric scooter, powered by a dc motor, bought from the market.
