Tesla Model 3's motor - The Brilliant Engineering behind it

The engineers of Tesla motor's shocked everyone when they abandoned the versatile induction motor in Model 3 cars. They used a totally different motor called IPM-SynRM. Let's understand why the Tesla engineers made this crucial design change.

[@laura-ann.0726]

Thank you! I drive a 2019 Toyota Prius Prime, and this video is the best explanation I've ever found on how the cars two motor/generators work. One thing the video didn't mention: there is a sensor on the rotor shaft of each of the Prius's motors, that continually and very precisely tracks the angle of the rotor around it's 360° circle. The signal from this sensor is fed to the motor control computer, which is controlling the bank of high-power MOSFET transistors in the inverter, that create the 3-phase alternating current that power the motor stator windings. As the video explains, there is an ideal phase-angle relationship between the magnetic fields in the rotor's permanent magnets, and the phase angle of the rotating magnetic fields being produced by the stator. The motor control computer continually adjusts and optimizes this phase angle, based on the signal from the rotor position sensor, and other sensors, plus the driver's demand for power given via the throttle pedal or cruise control setting. I assume that the Tesla, and other EV cars, have a similar sensor on the rotor.

@@philipmiller5036 the truth is electric appliances are the most efficient things in terms of energy comversion and usage WHEN THEY ARE CORDED to grid.

[@vancouverman4313]

[@jesscast5122]

@Robert Slackware They don't have 2 levels of CONTACTS. It's all electronic Commutation. and they don't fire on empty cylinders. the EIS simply monitors the firing sequence then triggers the proper coil. By sharing the duty cycle the Coils have time for proper saturation. which was a problem at HIGH Rpms.....

[@Bryan-Hensley]

Not at all. Inverter motor simply take the electricity and adjust the frequency. The outlet in your home runs at 60hz. The inverter changes this HZ to whatever it needs. It goes from 1hz to 1khz (top limit would be the maximum rpm the motor can handle). The first DC brushless motor was the gas gauge in vehicles back from the middle 1900s. Yes that is a DC brushless motor.

Great to see strides made to reduce back EMF in new motor designs.

The newer internal combustion engines are getting ridiculous in that regard, increasing complexity and therefore cost while decreasing reliability, repairability and longevity. All this done to say they are whatever percent more "efficient". To me efficiency means to do more with less. K.I.S.S. BTW, is that a passive heat pipe built-in the motor shaft at 11:40 ? Wouldn't the spinning shaft affect the flow or is that a simplified representation with the actual part having spiral grooves cut into it like a rifle barrel to aid fluid movement?

Many thanks for the explanation! Regards from an electrical engineer

Amazing video, thanks! as I have an interview coming up while back ground comes from aviation this really helped me understand the technology more.

I wrote Finite Element code from scratch in EE grad school (including axis-symmetric mesh generator) to analyze pulsed electromagnetic fields, and I had a hard time following this video.

Don't worry, as the author of this article/video is a magical painter of images for entertainment. So, let the "info" goes from one ear through the other ear, and then it left with nothing gained or retained, etc.

That’s just because it wasn’t perfectly explained and skipped over a lot of key aspects. Even when explaining things to someone who has prior knowledge of a concept, it is extremely important to link the derived graphs, diagrams etc. with what is actually being observed. Starting with a re explanation of the root, in this example the poles of different atoms and how they are generated, and then building up to the bigger picture with their complex magnetic field diagrams. I’ve always found that a lot of education systems suffer from this same issue, where they teach theory that is simple to perform, but don’t delve into why it is that these things are true, meaning most students don’t actually develop understanding and rely on their memory of formulas etc.

guess you didn't do too well in grad school then.

You’re in good company; I have a bachelors degree in physics and had to pause and rewind SEVERAL times to wrap my head around this

[@ikannunaplays]

I only graduated highschool and I understood it all from start to finish no rewinding needed. The concept is simple but the terminology is what most people are missing to understand what's going on here. They are reshaping the fields from the permanent magnets during high speeds to reduce Eddy currents that cause excessive heat. That's what they are demonstrating at 5:30 and 6:45 by placing permanent magnets within the slots in the rotor. Not saying this is cake work to design and build, only that the concept is simple to understand once you know the language.

Excellent video. Easy to understand for the interested layman. Makes me excited even more to get into the Tesla EV market.

[@cypher10297]

It's electrical engineering bruh!!! Nothing to do with mechanical! Mechanical engineers don't even know the basics of electrical!! Wtf.

[@Lost-In-Blank]

I've looked down further at the comments of other people, and those impressed by the video were those impressed by being baffled. _They didn't expect to understand the explanation and were quite impressed when they were left even more confused than expected._ Don't give up, you're probably almost there. I think we're getting lost on the acronyms and not seeing the unbalanced forces causing rotation. Tweak the video a bit, get that part clear, and it will be an excellent video!
