Continental’s new sensor measures heat in EV motors, reduces need for rare earths
Continental has developed a new sensor technology that measures the temperature inside permanently excited synchronous motors in EVs directly on the rotor. The company says its e-Motor Rotor Temperature Sensor (eRTS) delivers significantly more precise measurement results than the current software-based temperature simulation. This should enable vehicle manufacturers to reduce the amount of rare earth… Read more »
