High Reliable NTC Thermistor for EV Drive Motor’s Protection

2024-07-02

With the awareness of environmental protection and the continuous development of technology, we witness a remarkable global surge in EV, with adoption rates climbing steadily.  NTC thermistor as one of the core components of EV, it protects the performance and reliability of the drive motor.

Functions of NTC thermistors for drive motor:

1.Temperature monitoring and protection: The drive motor will generate a lot of heat during operation. Overheat can cause motor damage, such as fire and other safety hazards. NTC thermistors can monitor the temperature changes of the drive motor in real time and feed back the data to the control system, real time reactions can be taken to dissipate heat or reduce power output to protect the safe operation of the motor.

2.Efficiency optimization: with accurate temperature information provided by NTC thermistors, the control system can adjust the motor working state according to temperature changes and optimize energy efficiency. For example, in a low temperature, the thermistor can sense the low temperature state of the motor, and the control system will preheat the motor in advance by PTC heating to improve starting efficiency and working stability.

3.Fault diagnosis: NTC thermistors can monitor abnormal temperature changes of the motor. When it is overheated, the thermistor will send an alarm signal to the control system and indicate possible faults. This helps to timely detect and eliminate motor faults and improve the reliability and safety of the vehicle.

Advantages of  NTC  thermistor:

1.High precision:  thermistor with high accuracy and stability can provide accurate temperature data, and provide a reliable info for the control system.

2.Fast response: thermistor with fast response can sense the real time temperature, so that the control system can make corresponding adjustments in time.

3.Small size and volume: thermistor is small and tiny, highly adaptable, and easy to be installed on the heat dissipation components of the drive motor.

NTC thermistors play an important role in the drive motors of EVs. They can detect the temperature changes of the motors in real time and provide accurate temperature data for the control system.

Through temperature monitoring and protection, efficiency optimization, and fault diagnosis, thermistors can ensure the safe operation of the drive motors and improve the energy efficiency and reliability of the entire vehicle.

With the rapid development of the EV market, the application prospects of NTC thermistors will be wider, which is of great significance to promoting the development of EV technology.
