Induction Motor has been a popular choice for Electric Vehicle applications because of it’-s mature technology, rugged construction and cost effectiveness. However, three phase Induction motors also have some draw backs such as low power factor, low inverter usage factor and poor in fault tolerant operations. This limitations can be eliminated by the use of a Pole Phase Modulated Multi-Phase Induction Motor(PPMIM). This motor offers high torque-low speed at starting condition and low torque-high speed at running conditions. Thus, a PPMIM can provide wide torque speed range and can make the EV in gearless mode, which helps in the reduction of size and weight. In this paper, the design of a PPMIM is carried out in Ansys Maxwell. The Finite Element Analyis(FEA) indicate the PPMIM has superior performance in comparison with conventional three phase Induction motor for EV Applications. A MATLAB/Simulink model has been implemented and the results validate the wide speed torque -range of the PPMIM.
