The aim of this research was to investigate the torque performance of the motor in an electric vehicle depending on the rotor shape and air gap. The research focused on numerical comparison of torque performance of new rotors based on the average torque and torque ripple rate, which appeared according to the number and placement of permanent magnets. This research was numerically analyzed by MAXWELL V21.1. Average torque values in cases 1, 2, and 3 were increased, but vibration and noise in cases 1 and 3 were increased as the torque ripple rate increased. Considering the average torque and torque ripple rate, the torque performance of case 2 was the most optimal. Compared with Model N, the average torque of case 2 was increased by 9.1% and the torque ripple rate was reduced by 1.5%. The torque performance according to the size of air gap was compared with the basic model of case 2, which showed the best performance. An air gap of 0.7 mm applied to Model N showed the best torque performance. An additional magnet on case 2 and air gap of 0.7 mm provided the best torque performance and improved the driving motor performance for motor durability.

It has been an on-going issue to develop a high voltage motor with high capacity and reliability. In this study, we investigated the effective coil insulator materials in terms of thermal conductivity. To quantify the contribution of the coil insulator material, two different motors with and without the cooling structure were numerically studied. Based on the measured thermal conductivity of six different coil insulators, we have achieved the effectiveness of thermal conductivity. Consequently, the high voltage motor can be developed with the proposed effectiveness of thermal conductivity regarding coil insulator materials. Our study of fundamental material characteristics will be beneficial in enhancing thermal management technology of a high voltage motor.

This paper addresses the design of an integrated high torque DC motor. In this paper, a method to improve the torque according to the shape of the stator magnet and the rotor teeth of the DC motor is studied. During the course of design, the rotor and stator are designed to satisfy the required performance through FEM analysis by reflecting similar materials in design. As a result of satisfying the design result and requirements, the motor that is imported and operated in the future can be applied as a domestic developed product.
