The next-generation integrated drive (NGID) is an 80 kW demonstrator showcasing the latest innovations in high power density electric drive technology. A prototype 30 krpm maximum speed permanent magnet synchronous machine for an automotive traction application is under construction. This study describes several aspects of the detailed design and how these fit together in the complete drive package to increase the power density of the NGID.
