The adoption of low-voltage multiphase motors is a new trend in electric vehicles (EVs) for urban mobility and is an ideal choice for light electric vehicles designed for urban centres. At the design level, this emerging technology offer several advantages such as failsafe robustness, lower insulation costs and high compatibility with civil safety requirements and modularity. This thesis explores the design parameters and proposes an optimised control scheme for a dual three-phase electric motor with a hairpin construction powered by a 52V inverter. The motor is virtually modelled considering the influences of harmonics and losses by extrapolating the data calculated in Ansys Motor-CAD.
