  • Patent number: 10658910
    Abstract: A high rotor pole switched reluctance machine (HRSRM) employs an axial and radial mirroring concept and is represented by a first Multiple Rotor Pole (MRP) formula and second Multiple Stator Pole (MSP) formula. A multiple rotor HRSRM comprises at least two rotors each having a plurality of rotor poles and at least two stators having a plurality of stator poles. The at least two rotors and the at least two stators are positioned about a central axis with the stator placed between the rotors. In other embodiments, the number of stators equals the number of rotors and effectively operate as a single stator and rotor. In yet another embodiment, the effective single stator and rotor type high rotor pole switched reluctance machine is realized as single stator and rotor positioned concentrically around a central axis.

  • Patent number: 10284121
    Abstract: An IPM motor in which the absolute position of the rotor may be determined is disclosed. The IPM motor includes asymmetries in both the rotor and the stator. The rotor includes an asymmetrical pole configuration for one of the pole pairs in the rotor, and the stator includes a different number of turns for each winding of one phase of the motor. The different number of turns on each winding causes a different magnitude of flux to be generated with each winding. The flux interacts with the asymmetrical pole pair to identify to which winding the asymmetrical pole is proximate. A position sensing routine identifies an angular position with respect to each winding. The position sensing routine, in combination with the flux interaction between the windings and the asymmetrical pole provide an absolute position of the rotor within the IPM motor.
