Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical machine having a stator. The stator comprises a plurality of slots for receiving a stator winding. One respective conductor section of the stator winding is inserted into each slot. The conductor sections of at least one pair of poles are short-circuited to one another on a first side of the stator. The conductor sections on a second side of the stator, opposite from the first side, are each connected to a terminal of a power supply unit. The power supply unit consists of two annular electrical conductors, between which at least one power-electronics component is arranged.

Abstract: A winding system for a stator and/or a rotor of an electric machine is disclosed. The winding system comprises several conductor sections, two annular conductors (+, ?) on a first side of the winding system, to which the conductor sections are coupled by means of half bridges, and at least one half bridge on an opposite side of the winding system, to which at least one conductor section is connected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a power supply unit for supplying multiple conductor portions (3) of a stator winding of an electric machine which are inserted in respective slots (2), wherein the power supply unit is configured to supply a first conductor portion and a second conductor portion with at least one different operating parameter of a respective current function and/or the power supply unit is configured to supply a conductor portion with at least two superimposed current functions, which in each case have at least one different operating parameter. Furthermore, the invention relates to an electric machine having such a power supply unit.
