Motor — overview
The central component of the project is a brushless permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) in an 8-pole, 48-slot configuration.
Construction
Section titled “Construction”- Rotor: 108 mm wide, 100 mm in diameter, fitted with neodymium magnets.
- Housing: aluminium with cooling fins.
- Magnetic core: 29-gauge electrical steel laminations.
A PMSM was chosen for its high efficiency and power density — properties well suited to a vehicle where weight and range matter.
