A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

Induction machines are widely shunned for EV propulsion because of their lower peak efficiency and larger volume and mass. DSD has set out to explore the viability of a high efficiency high specific ...
