N2 - When using an electric scooter, there is a problem with the electric motor overheating. Temperatures that are too high will damage motor performance and reduce reliability. As a result, heat transfer from electric motors needs to be carefully considered. This study aims to determine the thermal characteristics of an electric motor by varying the rotational speed. The rotational speeds varied were 250 rpm, 500 rpm, and 750 rpm. Using finite element analysis to answer research questions, the software used is Ansys Motor-CAD. The type of electric motor used is a wheel hub motor with a power of 1.5 kW. The findings indicate that the rotating speed influenced the thermal properties of a wheel hub motor. Wheel hub motor components, including the winding, stator, rotor, cover, and axle, exhibit a drop in temperature with increasing rotational speed. The winding is the component that experiences the highest temperature, and the cover is the component that experiences the lowest temperature. The winding loss value is much higher than the stator, magnet, and rotor loss. Compared to other rotational speeds, the winding temperature at 750 rpm rotational speed achieved a stable temperature the quickest, at 519 minutes, while the temperatures at 250 rpm and 500 rpm reached stable temperatures, respectively, at 592.2 and 550.5 minutes.
