Each corresponding pair of the oblique portions of the electric conductor segments are connected by joining the thin sections of the oblique portions.

Abstract: A hybrid induction motor includes an inductive rotor and an independently rotating permanent magnet rotor. The inductive rotor is a squirrel cage type rotor for induction motor operation at startup. The permanent magnet rotor is variably coupled to the inductive rotor (or to a motor load) through a clutch and is allowed to rotate independently of the inductive rotor at startup. The independently rotating permanent magnet rotor quickly reaches synchronous RPM at startup. As the inductive rotor approaches or reaches synchronous RPM, the coupling between the inductive rotor and the inner permanent magnet rotor increases until the two rotors are coupled at the synchronous RPM and the motor transitions to efficient synchronous operation.
