  • Publication number: 20220368262
    Abstract: An electric motor, a power system, a control method, and an electric vehicle. The electric motor comprises a first N-phase winding set and a second N-phase winding set, wherein the first N-phase winding set and the second N-phase winding set are both used for being connected to a traction battery by means of a conversion module. When the traction battery starts to be heated, the first N-phase winding set and the second N-phase winding set are powered on. The direction of a magnetic field generated by the first winding set and the direction of a magnetic field generated by the second winding set have a phase difference, such that the magnetic fields counteract each other; and a magnetic field intensity in a stator winding of each phase is reduced, and an air-gap magnetic flux is also reduced, thereby alleviating the problems of electric motor heating and electric motor NVH.

  • Publication number: 20220368270
    Abstract: Disclosed is a motor, a control method, a power system, and an electric vehicle. Each phase stator winding of the motor includes two sub-winding sets. When a traction battery needs to be heated, the two sub-winding sets of the motor store electrical energy and provide alternating currents to the traction battery through an inverter, so that the traction battery uses its internal resistance for heating. In addition, the two sub-winding sets generate opposite magnetic fields which cancel each other out, so that the strength of the magnetic field inside each phase stator winding and the air gap magnetic flux are reduced, thereby alleviating the heat generation and NVH problems of the motor.
