This paper presents electro-magnetic characteristics of an Interior type Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) for traction applications. The importance of instantaneous electric propulsion capability for high torque has been highlighted in the present study and thus parametric analysis is performed by Finite Element Method (FEM). The paper provides analytical & experimental results, which demonstrate a performance of the studied traction motor The goal of this paper is to present a maximum power performance for traction motor which works extension of its own rated power. Experimental results meet well with FEM analysis of traction motor owing to inductance difference.
