Hybrid Auto Powertrain

Introduction

The hybrid vehicle is a vehicle which use both internal combustion engine and electric motor. The lab shows us three different type electric motors, which is permanent magnet motor, induction motor and switched reluctance motor. Among these three types of electric motors, permanent magnet motors and induction motors are two most commonly used motor in hybrid vehicles. Both them produce torque through the interaction between a rotor magnetic field and a stator magnetic field. In addition, both them are powered by a three-phase AC alternating current which passing through the windings of the stator coils. The lab also shows us the Toyota Prius Plug in hybrid car.
