Abstract
An electric machine which includes a magnetically inducible core (60), at least three elongated first, second and third current carrying conductors (64-66) passing through a respective aperture (68) through the core, a first end (15, 69) of the first conductor and a first end of the second conductor are electrically connected by a first bridging member (8) located on a first side of the core, a second end of the second conductor and a second end of the third conductor are electrically connected by a second bridging member (8) located on a second side of the core (FIGS. 4, 5).
Claims8
An electric machine, comprising:
- a magnetically inducible core;
- a first plurality of printed circuit boards disposed at a first end of the magnetically inducible core, wherein each of the first plurality of printed circuit boards is substantially parallel with respect to each other and comprises a substantially similar circuit design;
- a second plurality of printed circuit boards disposed at a second end of the magnetically inducible core, wherein each of the second plurality of printed circuit boards is substantially parallel with respect to each other and comprises a substantially similar circuit design;
- a plurality of electrical current conductors, wherein each of the plurality of electrical current conductors extends through a respective bore within the magnetically inducible core such that the first plurality of printed circuit boards are electrically connected with the second plurality of circuit boards;
- and
- wherein each electrical current conductor is electrically insulated from the magnetically inducible core.
A method of manufacturing an electric machine, the method comprising:
- disposing a first plurality of printed circuit boards at a first end of a magnetically inducible core, the first plurality of printed circuit boards being substantially parallel with respect to each other and having substantially similar circuit design;
- disposing a second plurality of printed circuit boards at a second end of the magnetically inducible core, the second plurality of printed circuit boards being substantially parallel with respect to each other and having substantially similar circuit design;
- electrically connecting the first plurality of printed circuit boards to the second plurality of printed circuit boards with a plurality of electrical current connectors, each of the plurality of electrical current connectors being electrically insulated and extending through a respective bore within the magnetically inducible core.
