摘要:
An electric motor and a method of making the electric motor is disclosed herein. The motor comprises a stator (30) and a rotor (20) being arranged coaxially, with said rotor provided internally of said stator. The stator having one or more stator teeth (52) extending radially inwardly towards said rotor. The rotor has a plurality of magnets (22) forming an outer rotor surface. A first face (58) of the or each stator tooth faces the outer rotor surface. An electrically-conductive non-magnetic damper bar (54) is partially embedded in the or each stator tooth, the or each damper bar having an outer damper bar surface (55). A groove (60) is formed in the first face of the or each stator tooth to at least partially expose the outer damper bar surface. The groove can improve flux linkage between the rotor and the damper bars and thus improve the damping of the electric motor.

A main field circuit of an electrical generator and associated system and method are disclosed. The main field circuit comprises a main field winding configured to conduct a main field current, and a counter-field winding arranged proximate to the main field winding. The main field circuit further comprises a switch element configured to selectively couple at least a portion of the main field current into the counter-field winding to reduce a magnitude of the main field current. Coupling at least a portion of the main field current into the counter-field winding may be performed responsive to one or predefined conditions, such as a predefined load fault condition and enabling a predefined field weakening operation.

An electrical machine is provided with coils which are interconnected to form one or more windings. The coils are made up of at least two sub-coils, connected in series, the sub-coil closest to the airgap having strands in each turn which have a smaller cross sectional area than the strands in the turns in other sub-coils. This arrangement reduces the high-frequency loss in the windings while minimising any penalty associated with introducing stranding to the coil.

This PMDC machine concept operates from a constant dc voltage source (30) with maximum torque capacity throughout its rotational speed range. The back electromotive force (back-emf) produced by the machine windings (21) under the constant amplitude air gap (12) field produced by the magnets (15) is controlled by changing the winding configurations in series-parallel combinations (Figs. 3A and 3B). Torque is, thus, controlled from minimum to maximum speed without exceeding winding current capacities and without need to increase driving voltage with speed. A startup and low speed the combined back-emf of series connected windings (21) limit current while producing maximum torque. At higher speeds where back-emf would severely limit torque, the windings are connected in series-parallel combinations for maximum achievable torque without exceeding winding current capacities. To accomplish this, windings (21) concentrated in slots (17) are used. Result is optimum utilization of core magnetics and capability of operating at constant input voltage.

A switched reluctance machine comprises a stator (48) having an even plurality of salient stator poles, each of which having a stator winding disposed thereon and electrically coupled one to another to form diametrically opposed pole pairs which may be coupled to an external source of electrical energy, a rotor (20) having an even plurality of salient rotor poles (22, 24, 26, 28), and at least one compensation (30, 32, 34, 36) disposed on each of the rotor poles. The compensation coils are electrically coupled one to another to form diametrically opposed compensation pairs (30 and 32, 34 and 36) in which flows a flux generating current when one of the stator windings of a pole pair is either open or shorted. The flux generated equalizes the unbalance forces resulting from the faulted stator winding, thereby increasing the fault tolerant capability of the switched reluctance machine.
