Disclosed is a motor, a control method, a power system, and an electric vehicle. Each phase stator winding of the motor includes two sub-winding sets. When a traction battery needs to be heated, the two sub-winding sets of the motor store electrical energy and provide alternating currents to the traction battery through an inverter, so that the traction battery uses its internal resistance for heating. In addition, the two sub-winding sets generate opposite magnetic fields which cancel each other out, so that the strength of the magnetic field inside each phase stator winding and the air gap magnetic flux are reduced, thereby alleviating the heat generation and NVH problems of the motor.

An object is to achieve overheat protection for a converter and stable voltage output thereof. This power supply device includes: a converter connected to power supply voltage and having a plurality of switching elements; a temperature detection circuit for detecting a temperature of the converter; an inverter which is connected between the converter and a load, and which converts output voltage of the converter and outputs resultant voltage to the load; and a control unit for controlling the switching elements of the converter. When the temperature detected by the temperature detection circuit has exceeded a first limitation value, the control unit controls the switching elements so that the output voltage of the converter becomes the power supply voltage at a set change rate.
