Inverter ERAD Module (IEM) | Polestar-TRIP
Electric Front Axle Drive (EFAD)
The Electric Front Axle Drive (EFAD) is an Asynchronous Motor (ASM) type motor, also called
induction motor. Unlike a PMSM motor where the rotor is permanently magnetized, the magnetic field
in the rotor of an induction motor is induced when electric current is applied to the stator.
Note that the EFAD cannot be disengaged, instead the electric motor is coasting when no torque is
needed on the front wheels.
Max power
110 kW (Standard)
135 kW (Performance)
Max torque
250 Nm
Max current
500 A
Max rotational speed
14 000 rpm (max load), 16 800 rpm (no load)

Electric Rear Axle Drive (ERAD)
The Electric Rear Axle Drive (ERAD) follow the PMSM type, which amongst other things, entails a premagnetized rotor with permanent magnets.
Max power
200 kW (Standard and Performance)
Max torque
490 Nm
Max current
650 A
Max rotational speed
14 000 rpm (max load), 16 800 rpm (no load)
