4 Test conditions
4.1 General requirements
4.1.1 The devices under test shall be drive motor systems that conform to the requirements of the product technical documents.
4.1.2 Unless otherwise specified, the test conditions shall meet the test preparation requirements in GB/T 18488.2.
4.2 Cooling
During the test, the cooling equipment or cooling conditions shall meet the following requirements.
——For air-cooled drive motor systems, the air-cooled motor actually installed shall present during the test;
——For naturally cooled drive motor systems, additional fans can be used to cool the drive motor system;
——For liquid-cooled or oil-cooled drive motor systems, the coolant or lubricant specified by the manufacturer shall be used, which shall be replaced periodically as prescribed by the manufacturer during the test;
——The cooling conditions of the drive motor system should simulate the actual conditions in the vehicle, and the model of the cooling device for drive motor system, as well as the type of coolant, flow rate (or pressure) and temperature shall be recorded in the test report.

5 Test procedure
5.1 Preparation before test
5.1.1 The connection line between the controller and the motor should be consistent with that used in the vehicle, and the monitoring system shall be installed as well. To ensure that the system can operate properly, the necessary correlation signals shall be simulated or otherwise shielded by other methods.
5.1.2 The power supply, test stand and monitoring system shall be in normal working condition.
5.1.3 If the drive motor system under test contains a reducer, running-in shall be performed in accordance with the requirements in 6.2.3 of QC/T 1022-2015 or as specified by the manufacturer before the test, and then the oil shall be replaced.
5.1.4 If the drive motor system under test contains a reducer, the setting of conditions for the initial performance test, performance retest and reliability test shall be converted based on the reduction ratio of the reducer.
