Job-Beschreibung
Externally Excited Synchronous Motors (EESM) are being increasingly used in many industrial fields, such as electrified powertrains. One of the main advantages is the variable rotor magnetization compared to conventional permanent magnet rotors. However, EESM machines have many challenges to overcome, including mechanical/cooling integration, optimization and integration.
