Additional information
This work, funded by Protean Electric (Chris Hilton 01252741803), is the first to address the safety implications for direct drive vehicle in-wheel motors. Measurements and simulation are used to test a prototype 80kW, fault-tolerant, in-wheel motor under a range of fault conditions. It is demonstrated that electrical faults will not cause loss of vehicular control or endanger life – a key feature for regulatory control. The motor is now going into prototype manufacture in China, with full production in 2014).
