    Abstract: A synchronous electric motor includes rotor having a plurality of radially-oriented magnetic dipoles and a stator. Stator teeth group with a plurality of sets of stator teeth are arranged in the same position in terms of an electrical angle with another stator teeth group to provide rotational symmetry about an axis of the rotor. In each of the stator teeth groups a predetermined number of stator teeth are arranged at intervals different from intervals of the rotor magnetic dipoles. A main coil is wound about a predetermined number of stator teeth with a sub-coil further wound around one or more a teeth. Phase and magnitude of a resulting magnetic field is adjusted by the number of loops of the main coil and sub-coil. A given stator tooth can produce maximum torque despite any difference between an alignment of the stator tooth and an inter-polar interval of the stator.

  • Patent number: 8487499
    Abstract: In an electric rotating machine, a stator coil is comprised of first and second winding groups. The stator coil is wound around a stator core in a concentrated winding manner so that the phase difference in electrical angle between each corresponding pair of windings of the first and second winding groups is equal to ?/6. Further, the windings of the first and second winding groups are connected to form ?-Y connections. Consequently, the sixth harmonic components of the electromagnetic forces created by the windings of the first winding group can be offset by those of the electromagnetic forces created the windings of the second winding group. As a result, the total magnetic noise and torque ripple generated in the machine can be reduced. Moreover, the machine can be driven with only a single three-phase inverter to achieve the effects of reducing the total magnetic noise and torque ripple.
