This chapter presents the main operating characteristics of electric traction drives, in particular the speed/torque characteristics and the operating point-dependent losses. Similarities and differences to conventional internal combustion engines are shown. Emphasis is placed on the explanation of the constant torque and constant power range as well as the various operating limits in continuous and short-time operations.
