Abstract: A rotary electric machine may include a motor portion and an inverter portion. The motor portion may include a stator, a plurality of coils, circumferentially disposed around the stator and connected to form a plurality of galvanic isolated winding sections each having a subset of the coils connected in a multi-phase configuration and each of which may be provided with a coil terminal, and a rotor with a number of pole pairs rotatably disposed against a stator magnetic field generated by currents in the coils. The inverter portion may include a plurality of power switching elements connected to form a number of half bridge legs, and further comprising a high side power switching element, a low side power switching element in each half bridge leg, and an output connector at each half bridge leg. The number of half bridge legs may be equal to a number of isolated winding sections multiplied by a number of phases of the multi-phase configuration.
