Abstract
A cooling assembly (15) includes a conduit (16) including a side wall (17) and a fan (20) that includes a rotating electric machine (32), a power supply module (35) including three distinct single-phase self-transformers (79a, 79b, 79c), each single-phase self-transformer being magnetically decoupled from one another, each single-phase self-transformer (79a, 79b, 79c) surrounding the side wall (17) of the conduit.
Claims9
A cooling assembly including:
- a conduit including a side wall, an air intake and an air outlet allowing circulation of an air flow in the conduit, and
- a fan comprising:
- a rotating electric machine comprising:
- a rotary shaft,
- a ventilation wheel secured to the shaft,
- a power supply module able to connect the rotating electric machine to an electric power supply network providing a three-phase electric network, the power supply module including a transformation device able to adapt the three-phase electric current provided by the three-phase electric network for powering the rotary electric machine and including:
- three input terminals, the three input terminals being connected to the three-phase electric network,
- at least three output terminals, the at least three output terminals being connected to the rotating electric machine,
- three distinct single-phase self-transformers which are magnetically decoupled from one another, each single- phase self-transformer being connected to one of the input terminals and at least to one of the output terminals and being able to modify the voltage values of an input single-phase alternating current on the corresponding input terminal for obtaining a modified output current on said or each output terminal corresponding to the single-phase self-transformer, each self-transformer surrounding the side wall of the conduit.
