    摘要: Embodiments of a modular motor assembly are disclosed. In some embodiments, a motor comprises a plurality of modular magnetic units, where each of the modular magnetic units includes at least one rotor and at least one stator. The motor further comprises a plurality of structural segments each adapted to support a stator of a corresponding one of the modular magnetic units, where each of the structural segments interlocks with a next structural segment to form a stack. A method of manufacturing a motor includes arranging a selected number of modular magnetic units, coupling the selected number of modular magnetic units to a shaft, coupling the selected number of modular magnetic units to respective structural segments, and forming electrical connections to apply three-phase voltage to stator windings of the modular magnetic units.

    摘要: A system for measuring temperature in an electric motor includes an interface communicatively coupled to a motor and a processor coupled to the interface. In various embodiments, the processor is configured to obtain access to a temperature-measuring electrical path, where the temperature-measuring electrical path rotates relative to a magnetic field, and the temperature-measuring electrical path has no net induced voltage due to magnetic field as the temperature-measuring electrical path rotates relative to the magnetic field. The processor may be further configured to determine a resistance associated with the temperature-measuring electrical path, and determine a temperature of the motor based at least in part on the resistance.
