Electric Vehicle

When compared to conventional petrol or diesel-run cars, electric cars have significant differences and several benefits. With an increasing number of people opting for electric cars, it is important to understand the working of the internal parts of an electric vehicle. One  of the most vital parts of an automobile is its control system. In electric vehicles, these are more complex and have additional components like high voltage batteries, motors, inverters, converters, pumps and regenerative brakes. The  inverter and converter are two key components that work together to manage the power and recharging the circuits.  An inverter is an electrical device that converts electricity derived from a Direct Current (DC) source to Alternating Current (AC), which can be used to drive a device or appliance. The inverter receives DC power from the battery and directs it towards the primary winding in a transformer within the inverter itself. Through an electronic switch which is generally a set

Together with electric batteries and controller systems, the electric motor forms the heart of an electric vehicle (EV). An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to propel the electric car. While  designing an electric vehicle, automobile manufacturers in India and across the world have to keep an eye on the size, weight and aerodynamics of the electric car to select the right electric motor. There are many variables such as speed, torque and power requirements to consider before fitting the right motor because it affects the performance of the car. The early electric vehicle models in India were fitted with Brushless DC motors (BLDC). The  BLDC motor is known as an advanced version of a Brushed DC motor . It has two major parts - a rotor and a stator. The rotor is the movable part that has permanent magnets known as the rotor magnets. The stator is the stationary part made up of coil windings. When electric current passes through the stator’s coil windings,
