Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9617429A1] A commutatorless polyphase AC electric machine including a rotor core with a surface having alternating parallel projections and slots. Each slot has an opening at the stator surface which is substantially as wide as the widest portion of the corresponding slot. The machine further includes a rotor core with a surface provided with magnets having respective surface sections facing the slots and projections. All the surface sections of the magnets generate a magnetic flux density with an average amplitude component Br( THETA ) that is perpendicular to the corresponding stator surface and substantially defined by equation (I), wherein La( THETA ) is defined by equation (II), where theta is an angular position in radians relative to a reference position on the rotor core; Br( theta ) is an average amplitude component in angular position theta ; Lv( theta ) is the spacing between the projections and the rotor core surface in angular position theta ; Mr( theta ) is a residual magnet induction component in angular position theta , Mr( theta ) being perpendicular to the corresponding stator surface and alternating with a period corresponding to 4 pi /K; K is an even number representing all the surface sections; and C is an arbitrary constant. A method for operating said commutatorless polyphase AC electric machine is also disclosed.
