ELECTRIC MOTOR SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Electric motor systems and methods may provide highly efficient operation. The electric motor systems and methods discussed herein provide an oil filled motor that is low speed and utilizes permanent magnets. The electric motor may utilize a large number of poles and fractional slot design. Further, in some embodiments, the electric motor systems and methods may be suitable for use downhole.
