There are two big reasons that electric vehicles use synchronous AC motors rather than DC motors for their vehicles: Efficency -- Brushless DC electric motors are typically about 85% …

Oct 30, 2023 · Does anyone have any development- or engineering-related inside scoop/deets on why Tesla chose to have permanent magnet motors for rear wheels, but induction motors for …

I would like to use a regular induction motor and an Allen Bradley 525 vfd drive which are much less expensive than a servo motor with servo drive since I would need something the size of a …

The Tesla Model 3 uses a permanent magnet in its motor, whereas the S and X use induction. I am trying to understand (1) why Tesla would have moved away from induction for the Model 3 …

Jul 23, 2023 · Other option is an AC induction motor. It's about of magic, as the magnetic filed of the rotor is generated by induction from the stator. It's a very simple and reliable design, used …

Feb 23, 2022 · An induction generator would be more akin to a diesel generator so as loads change, the frequency output would change. You can also have a larger air gap with a synch …

Oct 10, 2023 · Electrical Safety: Inappropriate use of a Variac with an induction motor can lead to electrical safety hazards, such as short circuits, electrical fires, or electric shock, especially if …

Aug 7, 2020 · Brushless/synchronized motors are simpler in that the electromagnets in the stator create magnetic fields, and the permanent magnets on the rotor basically get attracted to or …

Sep 18, 2021 · As you alluded to, induction motors CAN act as regenerative brakes, but you have to spend energy to do it. Essentially putting a changing magnetic field through the stator and …

Older Teslas though had both front and back induction motors, and the front motors actually had a lower gear ratio. That lower gear ratio allows the motor to be more efficient at highway speeds …
