ARBITRARY PHASE RELATIONSHIP FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS IN N-PHASE ELECTRIC MACHINES

摘要

In implementations of the present disclosure, a rotating electric machine includes a rotor assembly supported for rotation about a rotational axis, the rotor assembly including a plurality of rotor poles, the rotor poles being supported for rotation about the rotational axis, and a stator assembly including a plurality of independent stator modules with each stator module including multiple independently energizable stator segments, each stator segment defining a plurality of stator poles of the stator assembly for magnetically interacting with the rotor poles, each stator module being independently removable and replaceable from the stator assembly to adjust the total number of stator poles included in the stator assembly, and/or to vary the maximum power output of the electric machine.
