A motor for an electric vehicle has a stator core and a coil bonded with insulating varnish. The Impregnation of varnish in the stator and at the coil end greatly affects the vibration characteristics of the stator. In this paper, the experimental modal analysis of the sample stator was carried out to measure the vibration characteristics, and a vibration analysis model of the stator with the finite element method was developed. The laminated structure of an electromagnetic steel plate constituting a stator is modeled by anisotropic material properties. The joint stiffness of the varnish which connects the stator and the coil is modeled. We also modeled the varnish applied to the coil end. We carried out eigenvalue analysis and frequency response analysis. The simulation results are basically consistent with the experimental mode shapes and natural frequencies under 1000 Hz.
