Abstract: The article presents the analysis of operational parameters and thermal analysis of the wheel hub motor during operation in the car drive. The authors proposed an analysis of the operation of the wheel hub motor mounted in a hybrid car, during Artemis driving cycles and while driving on the road with different slopes. The simulations were carried out in the Ansys Motor-CAD program. The calculations are based on coupled models of the electromagnetic circuit and thermal models of the motor. The conducted research is a proposal of an approach to the design of electric vehicle propulsion motors, which allows us to consider problems related to predicting at the motor design stage what are its possibilities and what risks during operation in a real drive. The analysis also includes the impact of the applied motor control strategy and the variation of the supply voltage. These are aspects that are extremely important in wheel hub motors, as they are weight-optimized motors with a limited volume and a relatively high power and torque density.
