MOOC - Highly Automated Drive Engineer
Electric Traction Drives
The third training unit focuses on the electric drive components such as e-motors, inverters and the coupled transmissions. The most important types of machines are introduced, their functionality, characteristics and properties discussed. Cooling possibilities are also given, and safety aspects presented. Furthermore, an outlook on future technologies is given.
Future Aspects:
The element provides the current trends in the development of electric drive systems towards higher speeds, better cooling, higher integration.
ADCEUR.U3.E4.PC1
The student understands how electric drive systems can be further developed and which parameters can increase efficiency while keeping costs low.
ADCEUR.U3.E4.PC2
The student knows about the attempts to increase the cooling efficiency, which allows smaller components with lower thermal inertia.
ADCEUR.U3.E4.PC3
The student is able to explain the roadmap towards highly integrated solutions for miniaturization.
