Abstract

This work provides an analysis of the impact on AC losses in hairpin conductors, provided by different values of resistivity. Starting from some specific stator geometries, the optimal resistivity which minimizes the AC losses is calculated for each configuration through both analytical and finite element (FE) methods, considering a frequency range typical of automotive applications. Possible applications and conditions where a higher resistivity material, such as aluminum, can be adopted, are discussed. The main sources of discrepancies between the analytical and simulative approach are also discussed.
