Abstract
A novel coil shape, particularly suitable for 1-phase switched reluctance machines, is disclosed. The coil may be wound on a bobbin which is then inserted into the stator or it may be free standing. The shape is such that it can be inserted into the stator without further deformation of its shape to allow subsequent components of the machine to be assembled.
Claims26
A winding for a reluctance machine, the winding comprising a single coil having opposed side portions, each side portion having first and second ends, a first end loop connecting the first ends of the side portions and a second end loop connecting the second ends of the side portions, at least one of the first and second end loops defining an arch between the side portions such that an enclosed aperture is defined by the winding when viewed generally along the direction of the side portions.
