  • Patent number: 11233436
    Abstract: A multi-phase electric machine having plurality of windings are mounted on the stator core that define a plurality of phases wherein, for each phase, the windings include at least two parallel windings, each winding comprising a pair of continuous wires. For each pole, the parallel windings fill one or more central slots and two outer slots. Each winding fills each central slot twice the number of times that the winding fills each outer slot to thereby define a slot fill ratio of 2:1 between central slots and outer slots and wherein each wire of the wire pair forming a winding fills the slots in a ratio that differs from the slot fill ratio. Each of the parallel windings includes a phase shift end loop that shift the windings from one outer slot to the other outer slot.

    Abstract: An electric machine with a rotor having internal permanent magnets. Each rotor pole includes at least one central magnet slot with a permanent magnet disposed therein and first and second outer magnet slots each with a permanent magnet disposed therein. The rotor poles each define a radial centerline. The first and second outer magnet slots are positioned on opposite circumferential sides of the radial centerline and are at least partially positioned radially outwardly of a radially outermost edge of the at least one central magnet slot. The first and second outer magnet slots each define a tapered material bridge disposed between the outer magnet slot and a radially outer perimeter of the rotor core. Each of the tapered material bridges defines a variable radial thickness with the variable radial thickness increasing as the circumferential distance from the radial centerline of the pole increases.
