High-power, low-voltage axial air-gap electrical machine having a compact stator

摘要

An axial air-gap electric machine comprises a stator including a supporting member having one or more coil structures mounted thereon. The supporting member includes one or more eccentric recesses to accommodate portions of the coil structures, allowing the machine to be constructed more compactly. One important application of the invention is to high-power, low-voltage motors and generators, to accommodate the thick wires leading to the coil windings.
