    摘要: A rotary electric machine includes a stator, a rotor, a plurality of coils and a plurality of spacers. The stator has a stator body and a plurality of stator poles. Each stator pole has a pair of oppositely facing side surfaces. The rotor is positioned within the stator and has a plurality of rotor poles. One coil is disposed about each stator pole. The spacers are disposed between one coil and at least one of an inner circumferential surface of the stator body and the side surfaces of the stator body to define a fluid flow opening between the coil and the stator.

    摘要: A control system for a rotary electric machine includes a controller configured to generate dynamic input current data based upon a dynamic analysis of self flux data, mutual flux data, and saturation scaling factor data. Upon generating a torque request, the controller is configured to determine a desired electrical input based upon the dynamic input current data to generate the desired output torque. The desired electrical input includes a magnitude and duration of an electrical pulse and a desired angular position of the rotor of the rotary electric machine relative to the stator of the machine. The controller determines an angular position of the rotor and generates an operating command to generate the desired electrical input at the desired angular position of the rotor to propel the rotary electric machine and generate the desired output torque. A rotary electric machine and method of operating same are provided.
