Electric Motor
Employing synchronous A/C motor for compact packaging, light weight and high efficiency
Toyota's hybrid technology uses synchronous A/C motors, which can efficiently produce strong torque up into the high revolution ranges and provide freedom to control motor revolutions and torque. Toyota has also succeeded in making electric motors more compact, light-weight and efficient, for smoother starts/acceleration.
- 3-phase A/C
- Optimum control of the angle between rotating magnetic field and rotor magnets
- Permanent rotor magnets positioned in the ideal V-figure configuration
