description The motor characteristics control method using the winding changeover technique can improve the matching ratio between the most frequent operating point of electric vehicle (EV) and the motor’s high-efficiency operating point, thereby enhancing the overall average efficiency of the drive system. This technology reduces back electromotive force and winding resistance by adjusting the effective number of motor winding turns according to the EV’s operating speed, ultimately improving the average efficiency. In this paper, we propose a winding changeover circuit and control method that maximizes the average efficiency in the main driving regions to extend the driving range per charge and improve the fuel efficiency of EVs. The proposed circuit is constructed using thyristor switching devices, offering the advantage of relatively lower overall system losses compared to conventional circuits. Due to the characteristics of the thyristor switching devices used in the proposed circuit, seamless winding changeover is possible during motor operation. Additionally, no extra snubber circuits are required, and the relatively low switch losses suggest the potential for improved efficiency and lightweight design in EV drive systems. To verify the proposed winding changeover circuit and control scheme, experiments were conducted using a dynamometer with an 80 kW permanent magnet motor, inverter, and the developed prototype of the winding changeover circuit.
