Patent number: 11949294Abstract: An assembly comprises a resistor plate for a rotating rectifier assembly (RRA). A shaft bore is defined through the resistor plate for passage of a shaft of an electrical machine, and the resistor plate defines a main annular body around the shaft bore. A first protrusion extends radially outward from the main annular body, so that a first pin bore extends through the first protrusion. At least one contact band is seated in a the pin bore of the resistor plate for mounting a direct current (DC) pin to the resistor plate.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Hamilton Sundstrand CorporationInventors: Kyle S.

Patent number: 11949306Abstract: Described herein are fractional-slot-winding motors and electric vehicles using such fractional-slot-winding motors. In some examples, a fractional-slot-winding motor comprises a stator, a bus-bar assembly, and a plurality of coil units. The stator comprises a plurality of stator slots (e.g., 63 slots) extending through the core and radially offset relative to each other. Each dual-leg coil unit extends through two different stator slots and is electrically coupled to two other coil units on the coil-interconnection side of the rotor. Each single-leg coil unit extends through one coil slot and is electrically coupled to one other coil unit on the coil-interconnection side. At least some single-leg coil units can be coupled to a bus-bar assembly. Furthermore, the ends of the coil unit can have radial offsets relative to protruding portions, e.g., closer to the motor primary axis at the coil-interconnection side and further away on the opposite side.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Harbinger Motors Inc.Inventors: Jackson George Diebel, Alex Tylee, James Dameron, Phillip John Weicker
