Low-voltage electric machines (EMs) with high power density and compact volume represent a key target in transportation electrification.

Abstract

Low-voltage electric machines (EMs) with high power density and compact volume represent a key target in transportation electrification. In order to achieve optimal performance and simultaneously keep the high reliability of EM, the lifetime prediction should be merged into the EM design. In the literature, constant temperature accelerated lifetime tests (ALTs) are frequently applied for EM lifetime prediction. However, most EMs experience variable temperature profiles (TPs) during their operations. Thus, the variable temperature ALTs were considered by employing three periodic TPs experiments. The obtained results are postprocessed by Weibull distribution and related life models are constructed. Then, EM lifetimes under different TPs are analyzed by comparing the analytical and experimental results. Finally, the difference between the lifetime value of the model and experimental results is analyzed, and the extra loss of life caused by thermal–mechanical (T–M) stress is derived through experimental evidence.
