ZF develops compact, competitive magnet-free electric motor: In-Rotor Inductive-Excited Synchronous Motor

Green Car Congress

ZF has developed an electric motor which does not require magnets. In contrast to the magnet-free concepts of separately excited synchronous motors (SESM) already available today, ZF’s I 2 SM (In-Rotor Inductive-Excited Synchronous Motor) transmits the energy for the magnetic field via an inductive exciter inside the rotor shaft.

Bosch starts production of 800V inverter, motor for electric vehicles

Green Car Congress

In the 800-volt variant of the electric motor, Bosch has increased the power density. With the same current, but double the voltage, twice as much power can now be transmitted. As a result, the inverter is more compact and powerful. In power electronics, moreover, 50% less energy is lost in the form of heat.
