Great video as always Professor JD. I remember years ago the first time hearing the word "stator" was being used on an amusement park ride and was the latest and greatest technology alternating the power to magnets on a track to make a roller coaster go and stop. Too cool!!

We purchased a Fusion Energi to go along with our Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV after the family learned the benefits of owing an EV - a full electric is a step too far given our poor public charging station network, but we only need to visit a gas station once per month now on average, sometimes longer. Both vehicles drive brilliantly, and ownership costs has dropped by $400 per month at the cost of $40 higher electric bills. Not a bad trade-off at all.

It's interesting to see a hybrid design convergence of the parallel motor generator for Ford, Toyota- GM, and Chrysler. This is the same for example with the internal combustion engine variable timing and direct injection and many more. The various manufacturers experimented with their proprietary design until the industry decided toward common design concept.

Great video, thank you. I've got a 2014 fusion hybrid and you have a wonderfully straightforward way of breaking down and explaining all the components. One small criticism ... I don't know exactly how the fusion inverter drives their stators but if it is like a typical VFD system I suspect your voltage explanation is a little off. Typically a 3 phase system like these motors are not really 2 on, one off so much as a staged change where one is voltage is always 1/3'd of the way ahead of it's brother, they lead each other around more than alternate.

Outstanding

Very interesting, I have worked on some Honda and Toyota hybrids, but the wife's Fusions seemed to stop working. I had thought maybe the trans had gone bad (seems like the stator is not capable of making the car move). I did a code scan - could not believe that there were no codes in ANY of the systems. Except when you shut the car off it tells you how many EV miles and Regen miles and those are almost always 0 or very .2 almost nothing. So I figured I better start doing some digging and learn some before I make a 5 thousand dollar mistake on what maybe a bad connection.

Reading up about Brushless DC motors can reveal a lot of the background... I have limited hobby-level experience with one chip by Texas Instruments, the C2000 which is a microcontroller (embedded CPU w/ built-in memory) whose CPU core is optimized for the kind of math required. You quickly get "into the weeds" reading about this stuff but here's a few articles to chomp on - www.ti.com/lit/an/bpra055/bpra055.pdf ... www.ti.com/lit/an/sprt703/sprt703.pdf ... the C2000 series processor I evaluated once - www.ti.com/product/tms320F28027 - You quickly realize that the same set of processor "skills" required to perform motor control are also relevant with digital power conversion, think not 3-phase inverter for an EV but also 3-phase or single-phase inversion for producing AC power for the grid from DC (e.g. solar+battery) sources as well.

Outstanding video Professor John. I have just bought a 2014 Lincoln MKZ 2.0L FWD Hybrid with The Hf-35 xCVT trans and it is leaking out about 3qt, but the car drives great. Because of the leak the Transfer-shaft assembly (EG9Z-7H348-A) bearing and cup should be shot, but those parts only cost US $410 right now. Is it possible to put a rebuilt used HF35 eCVT or even a newer Ford 2017-up HF45 eCVT and not have to reprogram the power transfer unit? The only cable that comes out of both trans are the hi-voltage drive/regen motors and the low-voltage data cables (that reads both motors temp and speeds). From what I have read; the HF35 has no brain or need for VIN programming itself. I ask because my locale Lincoln Dealer just quoted me US $10,000+ to replace the HF35, recalibrate the Lane-departure system, and realign the wheels. Since I was not born yesterday and value my family's treasure, I figured I would ask an expert. The car is beautiful and still drives it just need seals and bearings but no trans shop in or near Chicago will touch these eCVTs due to Ford's EV service equipment requirments (an anti-static bay). I have removed FWD trans and replace clutches before and I am thinking of removing and rebuilding my own trans because of inflated dealer costs. Any help you can provide would be much appreciated "for eductional info only... lol". Thank you for your time, sir. BTW: Can you do a trans removal video on the HF35 and HF45? That would be amazing.

Thank You! :)

Wye should be how its connected, all three hot wires are connected to one neutral, at least for a three phase AC stator. The other is a Delta which has 4 wires, three hot and one ground. Company I worked for used wye connection on our three phase 400 hz systems, but again these were AC inductance motors. So Im not sure with this setup. Our Stators looked exactly like those too, I use to make some of the coil windings myself, also the stator stacks, then they were sent out to be inserted. Women were better than men for inserting the coils. When the completed stators returned to us they were then impregnated with a 2 part epoxy in a vacuum chamber so there was no air in the stator windings. The wires are called magnet wire, the coating is extremely tough, that tranny couldn't get hot enough to melt that coating under normal operation. The wire itself is fully annealed. Enjoyed what I did and I thank you for an awesome video...

Hi. Can you please tell me, my friend and I cannot understand how the planetary unit works? Is there a ratchet or some kind of overrunning clutch? Or why, when the engine is off, the planetary gear itself with the traction motor rotates, but the engine does not? Through what mechanism is the torque transmitted from the engine to the main gear? If so, does it have a ratchet that has free play in one direction and does not have it in the other? Thanks for the video, very informative

Thanks for breaking this down. I've had two Fusion Energi models (13' & 19') and have found the design to be terribly durable so far. Since there is no torque converter, would it be just a fluid change and not a flush?

At 18:34 in your video. I just want to let you know that the magnetic field in the motor "BOTH" attracts and repels as part of the process of moving the rotor. During rotation, if the stator magnet is "after" the rotor magnet, an attractive force is applied. But once the rotor magnet passes the stator magnet. The polority of the stator magnet is reversed and a repulsive force is then applied. Pushing that rotors magnet into the next stators magnet to be attracted to.

Yes, some models had some bearing failures. Changing the fluid will not prevent the failure. If your transaxle is noisy, have a Ford dealer check it for you. They are fixing these under warranty. The fluid does not need to be changed until a very high mileage. Check the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual. I believe it is around 150k miles (241 km) Best wishes.

Do you have to prime the external oil pump when changing it out for this transmission?

Interesting how similar the Ford and Toyota designs are. I’ve heard the original Escape hybrid has one of the most bulletproof drivetrains ever made, and taxi services have consistently been able to pull half a million miles+ without trouble. It seems that the Achilles heel of the Toyota system has historically been the motor winding(s) burning out. Now that they’ve switched to the bar-wound stator assembly (like GM has been using for years), I have a feeling the P610 won’t have these issues. It looks like this will be a very good transaxle, so long as the heat exchanger is effective enough to cool the transmission fluid and prevent the ATF from cooking.

The power split system on my 2014 CMAX doesn't appear to be operating in tandem anymore. It used to be that over certain load levels both electric and gasoline motors would be working together then the electric motor would take over when the load was light. We just got hit by 34days worth of -40 degree celcius weather and upon the 3rd day I discovered the hybrid battery had dropped to near zero from full charge the night before. Since then when driving it's either full electric mode or gas only mode regardless of battery charge level and the two only work in tandem for very very brief periods maybe a few seconds at a time. I can hear the switching from inside the car. I don't know enough about the system to judge if prior operation was normal or if the current operation is normal and the cold weather had nothing to do with it. It's still under warranty 44000km. Fuel economy sucks too 33mpg (city) and that's with the ever optimistic digital readout, it's actually closer to 30mpg. Anyway, any ideas?

Most engine coolant temperature sensors register -40 degrees C when there is an electrical open circuit. The system may have been tricked into thinking there is a malfunction. The very cold weather will certainly affect the operation.

The Ford and Toyota hybrid transaxles are made by Aisin , a Japanese company which got its start during World War II. it has been wrongly reported that Ford merely license Toyota's design. In fact Toyota and Ford just agreed not to sue each other for patent infringement on hybrid transaxles so they do use the same basic design. The planetary gear set itself dates way back to at least the design of the Ford Model T.
