Abstract: A multi-gap inductor core includes magnetic lamination sheets made of magnetic core material arranged in a stack, and fixing layers made of a fixing material. Each fixing layer is arranged between a corresponding pair of adjacent magnetic lamination sheets. Each fixing layer also includes an embedded mechanical spacer that defines a gap having a predetermined thickness between a corresponding pair of adjacent magnetic lamination sheets.

Abstract: A multiphase and multipole electrical machine which can be commutated electrically is disclosed. The machine includes a rotor and a stator. The stator has multipole poles divided into zones, each zone corresponding to a respective phase of the machine. A winding conductor is associated with each phase, the conductor being passed in alternating directions around successive stator poles of the corresponding zone. Adjacent stator poles are spaced by a slot width substantially corresponding to the width of the winding conductor, portions of the winding conductor within a slot overlapping one another radially of a longitudinal axis of the stator.
