  • Understand the design, mode of action, and operating characteristics of electric machines
  • Draw up a rough layout of various electric machines with their main dimensions
  • Estimate relevant variables such as installation space and material costs

Description

Electric traction motors and their integration into electrically driven road and rail vehicles are essential elements when it comes to successful development of electromobility into the future. However, the electric motor is at the center of new developments not only in electric mobility, but also in many other industrial applications. Companies that want to survive in the market must produce small, power-dense, efficient, and inexpensive motors and systems. Ever shorter development cycles demand very fast design-related decisions. Sound knowledge of the basic design, mode of operation, and advantages and disadvantages of different types of motors is essential if the correct decisions are to be taken.

On this course you will get an overview of the functionality, strengths, and weaknesses of common types of motor (PMSM, SRM, IM, ESM, GSM, and TFM). Together, we will create a rough design incorporating the main dimensions of the motor and its torque-speed characteristics, which will help you to assess, for example, how large the installation space needs to be for the required motor output and how much material you will need when it comes to production. The course is aimed at design engineers, developers, and decision-makers from the fields of drive technology, mechanical engineering, and mechatronics. Likewise, electrical engineers and motor designers will be able to refresh their knowledge.

Do you have questions on the training?

When will I receive the final confirmation for my training booking?

Straight after you sign up, an automatic confirmation of receipt will be sent to the email addresses you provided. Once you have successfully verified the data you provided, you will receive your personalized sign-up confirmation, containing further information on course fees, the billing address, etc., by email within two to three working days.  

As soon as the minimum number of attendees has been reached, you will receive a final training confirmation containing further information. If you have booked an on-site training, we recommend that you wait until you have received this final confirmation before booking your travel and accommodation.

If the minimum number of attendees is not reached, we reserve the right to cancel the training seven days before it is due to start at the latest. We are happy to inform you on changing your booking to an alternative date. Please note that we accept no liability for hotel or travel bookings that attendees have already made.

When is the sign-up deadline for a training?

Training places will generally be allocated based on the order in which attendees sign up. For this reason, we always recommend booking for your desired date as early as possible.

As long as a coures still has free places, it can be booked.

At what time do the training courses begin and end?

Usually the training courses start at 9:00 am and end at 5:00 pm of the respective local time. The actual course times will be stated in the booking confirmation. Please note that, depending on the training host, there may be a possible time shift between your and the provider's local time. Therefore all local times are provided with the valid time shift to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
