A traction motor is a type of electric motor that is specifically designed for providing propulsion in electric vehicles.
Whether it’s a permanent magnet traction motor that produces good low speed torque but suffers losses at high speeds, or a switched reluctance type that works well at high revolutions but not at low, each manufacturer chooses the best type of traction motor to suit the needs of their vehicle.
In the latest addition to our EV Traction & Auxiliary Motors course, you will learn about the different traction motors designs used in EVs, helping you understand the diagnostic process and which checks need to be performed when one of these systems fails.
The topics covered in this training module include:
