  • Tapped stator axial motor and drive for extended operating range
    Patent number: 12665534
    Abstract: A rotary energy conversion device may include an armature, a first inverter circuit, a second inverter circuit, and at least one switch. The armature may include at least a first winding segment and a second winding segment that are each configured to generate magnetic flux when energized, the second winding segment being connected in series with the first winding segment. The first inverter circuit may be configured to energize both the first winding segment and the second winding segment during a first mode of operation of the rotary energy conversion device. The second inverter circuit may be configured to energize the second winding segment but not the first winding segment during a second mode of operation of the rotary energy conversion device. The at least one switch may be configured and arranged to decouple of the first inverter circuit from the second inverter circuit during the second mode of operation.
