Application of Concentrated-Wound
Machines
As the world strives to electrify transportation through electrical powertrains , electrical machines and drives will become even more prevalent . Concentratedwound machine technology offers improved machine performance in these applications , reducing the risk of fault propagation in the machine . |
Competitive Advantage • Years of experience in the research and development of concentrated-wound and fractional slot machines , particularly permanent-magnet machines
• Leading winding techniques that improve machine performance
• Ability to mass-manufacture windings
• Patented technology
Impact • Increased efficiency through reduced rotor losses and lower torque ripple
• Improved performance of electric vehicles and other powertrains
• Improved operation under machine faults
