These considerations lead to the optimal dimensions for electrical conductors in mobile systems. The work shows the dependence of the entire power consumption of electrical conductors as consequence of the vehicle speed, the material parameters, the mechanical and the electrical efficiency factors and elaborates the optimal current density in terms of low power consumption. The object of the work is to contribute to an energy efficient design of electrical power lines in all kinds of vehicles.

This paper presents investigations into the eddy current losses of laminated stator cores with electrically connected edge areas. The application of various manufacturing processes can lead to an electrical connection of the lamination core edges and therefore to additional eddy current losses. This paper considers the impact of connected core edges on the losses of a ring core sample. The analysis shows that the eddy current losses increase dramatically when connecting the core edges. Based on the results achieved by finite element analysis, a simple equivalent electric circuit model is introduced. For verification of the model, the circuit model is introduced. For verification of the model, the circuit was simulated with an analog circuit simulation software. Finally the calculated results have been validated experimentally on a ring core sample with galvanically connected edges.

Integrated drive-units for electric vehicles (EV) with combined electric machines and power electronic components offer the chance to achieve compact and cost-optimized traction systems. The demand for high power-densities and the requirement of a reliable system operation lead to the necessity of an enhanced thermal management. In the present paper, the build-up of an integrated drive-unit with 2×20 kW is described. A thermal simulation model of the used traction machines, based on Cauer-networks and parameterized with FEM-simulations and measurements, allows an analysis of transient temperature profiles for various driving situations as well as a determination of internal temperatures.

Today's business environment increasingly requires the capability of producing electric drives in smaller lot sizes in order to be able to respond quickly to changing customer demands without suffering from large stocks, excess capacities or challenging the company's ability to deliver. This flexibility is a crucial element of success for both, an increased customer service as well as a lean and competitive production system. A key enabler for achieving flexibility and implementing lean production is the reduction of set-up times.

The paper presents the method to determine an optimized, robust cooling system for liquid cooled main motors. The optimization was supported by principle motorette tests to define the basic thermal parameters of different joining technologies. By using the technology tube hydroforming (THF) and orbital welding is it possible to produce the required, robust cooling-system very effective at a high quality standard. This causes reduced development and production costs, less componets and processes and last but not least improvement of processing time.

We have experienced the unprecedented copper price rises in the recent years. With increased use in the automotive industry, it will become even more serious issue, possibly slowing down the wider application of the electric drives in the new vehicles. More efficient way to use the copper would bring substantial benefits to other industries, too - every high volume inductive device application included.

This paper will provide an overview of different mechanisms of sound generation and present important measurement and computational techniques for the determination of the flow and acoustic field in electric drive systems. Two basic phenomena of sound generation can be distinguished: flow-induced sound created by unsteady flow fields, and vibrational sound due to moving surfaces. Besides these basic mechanisms, complex interactions of both are possible.

Although hydraulic cylinders offer certain advantages, such as high force density and easy bolt-on mechanical assembly, they also have limitations like unclean operation, high maintenance requirement and difficulty of controls. This paper presents a competing drive concept that sidesteps these problems and achieves a high force-to-weight ratio by utilizing direct drives in a parallel arrangement. The proposed module allows high acceleration and high precision controls, while avoiding the self-locking problem associated with geared drives. First, a general overview of the actuator module is provided, which includes the electrical drive, the guideway system, measurement devices, and an optionally integrated power converter. The possible solutions applying different linear drive principles are evaluated and compared. In particular, the influence of iron-core and ironless direct drives on the force-to-weight ratio are analyzed. To achieve scalability in force, a modular design is adopted. In order to reduce the weight of the module, magnetic flux simulations are conducted that enable a substantial reduction in the backflow iron required for the drives arranged in parallel. The manufacturing of the coils and the assembly of the magnetic guideway are also discussed; in particular from the point of view of dealing with difficulties caused by statistical disparities in the magnetization properties among permanent magnets from the same batch. Finally, experimental results from the completed actuator are presented, including static and dynamic mechanical measurements and thermal behavior.
