Current Testing Method for Drive Motor
When the manufacturers and OEMs test the drive motor system, testing real batteries cannot meet the test requirements of various complex working conditions. Also, batteries are prone to damage during testing under extreme conditions (such as current spikes caused by emergency braking). Therefore, using battery simulators for driving motor testing and performance evaluation has become the mainstream of electric vehicle drive motor system development and vehicle testing.
