The Spoke Motor
The next generation of the Electric Motor
The APM200 has been designed specifically to meet the requirements of a high-performance traction motor. Its unique spoke architecture enables the rotor to be liquid cooled increasing the motors continuous power output capability. The motor has a maximum speed of 10,000 rpm and incorporates an integral 5.5 :1 epicyclic gearbox which means that the output shaft of the gearbox can be connected directly to the wheel hub. The motor has a peak power of 220kW, and a peak torque of 450Nm.

Equipmake has developed a bespoke inverter to drive the APM200 motor. The inverter incorporates the latest IGBT Power Electronic technology. It is also available with a silicon carbide diode option combined with IGBT’s to improve the power capability and enable the inverter to run at high switching frequencies. The inverter has been designed to run at a DC voltage of 750V, with a peak current rating of 450A rms.
