Abstract
This work deals with thermal design of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The designed motor is the in-wheel traction motor for automotive. The motor consist of an external rotor and inner stator with water cooling system. The thermal calculation is based on the simplified lumped parameters thermal model and is verified by the finite element methods FEM. The thermal simulation is made for the machine under various operating conditions of the car
