Each stator section is wound with three parallel windings having respective three nodes. Each stator section has nine terminals providing independent access to each node so that separate voltages and currents are applied to each parallel winding in the stator section.

The three parallel windings are connected to external terminals of the motor to form either a delta winding configuration or a wye (star) winding configuration.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2011Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Electro-Mariner Corp.Inventors: Ilya Kaminsky, Robert J.

Patent number: 8212507Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a control system for driving a three-strand brushless, electronically commutated electric motor (2), wherein a line AC voltage (UN) is rectified and fed via a slim DC link (8) with minimum DC link reactance as a DC link voltage (UZ) to an inverter (10) that can be driven to supply and commutate the electric motor (2). A pulsating DC voltage (UG) initially generated by rectifying the line AC voltage (UN) is dynamically increased with respect to its instantaneous values by a step-up chopper (18) in such a manner that the resulting DC link voltage (UZ) with a reduced ripple always lies above a defined limit voltage (U18/U1) over time. The control system consists of a network rectifier (6), a downstream slim DC link (8) with minimum DC link reactance and a controllable inverter (10) that can be supplied via the DC link and driven to commutate the electric motor (2).Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2010Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: EBM-Papst Mulfingen GmbH & Co.
