摘要： A motor includes a stator and a rotor having an axis of rotation and a magnet. The stator includes a PCB having PCB panels. Each PCB panel is assigned to one electrical phase. Each PCB panel has a pair of PCB layers. Each PCB layer includes coils, and each coil in each PCB layer of a PCB panel is circumferentially aligned with a corresponding coil in another PCB layer. One coil in one PCB layer is coupled to a corresponding coil in another PCB layer with a via. A number of turns in each coil is a multiple of a number of electrical phases configured for the PCB stator. In addition, the vias that connect two coils in a pair of PCB layers that belong to a same electrical phase do not intersect coils in PCB layers that belong to other electrical phases of the PCB stator.

摘要： An axial field rotary energy device or system includes an axis, a PCB stator and rotors having respective permanent magnets. The rotors rotate about the axis relative to the PCB stator. A variable frequency drive (VFD) having VFD components are coupled to the axial field rotary energy device. An enclosure contains the axial field rotary energy device and the VFD, such that the axial field rotary device and the VFD are integrated together within the enclosure. In addition, a cooling system is integrated with the enclosure to cool the axial field rotary energy device and the VFD.
