Traction motors play a critical role in electrified vehicles, including electric, hybrid electric, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. With high efficiency and power density, interior permanent magnet (IPM) synchronous machines have been employed in many commercialized electrified powertrains. In this paper, three different IPM rotor design configurations, which have been used in electrified powertrains from Toyota, Nissan, and General Motors, are comparatively investigated. Each topology is redesigned and improved to meet new design requirements based on the same constraints. The designed motors are then compared and comprehensively evaluated for motor performance, torque segregation, demagnetization, mechanical stress, and radial forces. The results suggest that the single V-shaped configuration achieves the best overall performance and is thus recommended as the best candidate.
