Experimental Characterization and Modeling of a YASA P400 Axial Flux PM Traction Machine for Electric Vehicles
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper investigates a popular off-the shelf performance traction machine, the yokeless and segmented armature YASA axial flux permanent magnet machine. A series of manual measurements and automated dynamometer tests were performed at various conditions. From these tests parameters are determined including friction and windage torque, phase resistance, permanent magnet flux linkage, and inductance. The efficiency, phase current, phase voltage, and power factor of the machine was measured over a wide torque and speed range, and these measurements were used to validate an analytical model of the machine. The measured efficiency map of the machine was integrated with a model of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle (EV). The modeled performance of the YASA machine and of the Chevrolet Bolt EV machine were then compared, showing that for the HWFET drive cycle the YASA machine had about double the loss of the Bolt EV machine, translating to around 7% less range. The higher loss of the YASA machine likely has several causes, including higher phase resistance, significant friction, windage, and no-load iron losses, and the fact that Bolt EV machine was heavily optimized for this application while the YASA was optimized to be a highly power dense more general purpose machine.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
