Intertech Corp. (Portland, ME) announced the date for its automotive component design seminar, "Designing Actuators, Motors and Generators for Automotive Applications," which will be held June 18-19, 2003. The seminar will take place at the Messe Berlin in Berlin, Germany, and is aimed at professionals involved in any way with automotive component design - or with the selection, planning, procurement or application of vehicular electrical systems.
The conference will provide attendees with extensive detail on designing permanent magnet (ferrite, rare earth); switched reluctance; synchronous; and induction electric motors, including dc and brushless dc motors, starters and starter-alternators. Attendees will develop skills to assess the advantages and disadvantages of competing motor designs used for ICE, hybrid-electric, electric and fuel cell vehicles, as well as for auxiliary motors used throughout the vehicle. New areas, such as 42V systems and finite element modeling will also be highlighted.
