Most common problems:

Overheating

Induction motors can generate a significant amount of heat, which can lead to overheating if the cooling system is not functioning properly.

Bearing failure

Bearings in the motor can wear out over time, leading to increased friction and potential motor failure.

Inverter malfunctions

The inverter, which converts DC to AC, can fail, leading to issues with motor control and performance.

Electrical noise

Induction motors can produce electrical noise that can interfere with other electronic systems in the vehicle.

Stator winding issues

Problems with the stator windings, such as insulation failure, can cause short circuits and motor failure.

Rotor problems

Issues with the rotor, such as misalignment or damage, can affect motor performance and efficiency.

Software glitches

Software that controls the motor can have bugs or glitches, leading to unexpected behavior or reduced performance.

Power loss

Over time, the motor may experience a loss of power due to wear and tear or decreased efficiency.

Cooling system failure

The cooling system can fail, leading to the motor overheating and potential damage.

Vibration and noise

Excessive vibration and noise can indicate underlying issues with the motor or related components.
