SSS 3 – Electric Vehicles 05 July 2016 Lloyd Morrissey Project Engineer Cummins South Pacific
AGENDA • Magnets, electromagnets and electromagnetics • Electric motor basics • Performance of electric motors • Electric motors for Evs • Q and A
1. TOPIC Welcome. Apologies Accept agenda Action items arising from previous board minutes
FIRST THINGS FIRST : MAGNETS • All wires carrying current produce a magnetic field. • This field follows the right hand rule
ELECTROMAGNETS By coiling wires in a loop the magnetic field can be concentrated forming an electromagnet S N
A BETTER MAGNET • Electromagnets are useful because: • They have a higher magnetic field than permanent magnets • Can be turned on or off • Their poles can be reversed
A BETTER BETTER MAGNET To get a stronger magnetic force (B), increase the number of turns (n), the current (I) or the permeability of space(µ).
MAKING SPACE MORE PERMABLE Iron, nickel and cobalt are excellent magnetic conductors They can be used to enhance a magnetic field
A MAGNETIC MOTOR This motor will only rotate a fraction of a turn then stop

THE TROUBLE WITH COILS • The electromagnet is actually an indictor, which stores energy
