High performance traction motors with advanced hairpin windings

The rapidly increasing demand on power density levels of electric vehicle (EV) drive systems is pushing the boundaries of traction motor performance. Hairpin windings are becoming a popular option for EV motors due to their reduced DC losses and improved heat dissipation capability when compared to traditional random windings. The presentation will be about how JMAG is utilized for layout design and conductor size optimization of hairpin windings in a typical traction PM motor.
