Abstract :
This paper studies the coupling between the specified load torque-speed characteristic, the motor size and weight and the inverter apparent power of a drive for a traction application. The main compromises between the sizes of the main components are analyzed in the case of a surface mount PM permanent-magnet motor drive. An efficient p.u. approach is proposed and validated by a comparative analysis with the design results of a CAD environment with global optimization
