Abstract

In this paper, the winding insulation lifetime of a dual inverter fed open winding interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (OWIPMSM) is compared with a conventional single inverter fed star-connected interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (SCIPMSM) for an EV traction application. A twisted pair coil (TP) is connected between the line-to-line terminal of windings of an OWIPMSM and a SCIPMSM and the effect of the line-to-line terminal surge voltage on the turn-to-turn insulation lifetime using the TP is investigated. From the present preliminary insulation lifetime testing results using the TP, it is found that for motors with the same ratings, an OWIPMSM could be designed with a lower insulation level winding than the SCIPMSM for an EV traction application.
