An embodiment relates to a method for operating a three-phase machine including a rotor and a stator connected to a three-phase network. The stator is connected to the three-phase network via a first semiconductor circuit arrangement for forming a first rotational field rotating in a first direction of rotation in the stator and via a second semiconductor circuit arrangement for forming a second rotational field rotating in a direction of rotation opposite to the first direction of rotation in the stator. The three-phase machine further includes a controller. The method includes controlling, via the controller, semiconductors of the first and second semiconductor circuit arrangement to accelerate the rotor by current pulses of both the first rotational field and second rotational field in the first direction of rotation.

A method of manufacturing a rotor of an electric motor or an electric generator includes positioning a plurality of amortisseur bars and using additive manufacturing to place electrically conductive material. More specifically, positioning the amortisseur bars may include circumferentially positioning the bars around a rotor stack and using additive manufacturing to place electrically conductive material may include forming a non-solid pattern of electrically conductive material, such as a pattern of electrically conductive traces, across opposite axial ends of the rotor stack to electrically interconnect an amortisseur circuit.

The present invention relates to a line start synchronous reluctance motor and a rotor thereof. To this end, the present invention provides a line start synchronous reluctance motor including: a rotor; a plurality of conductor bars disposed on a side of an outer circumferential portion of the rotor; and flux barriers formed at an inner side of the rotor so as to be close to the conductor bars, wherein the flux barriers, which are formed in separate regions of a body of the rotor that are arranged to have opposite polarities, are formed to be asymmetrical to each other. Therefore, the present invention improves characteristics of the motor through the asymmetrical flux-barrier structure without changing the number of conductor bars, thereby allowing the initial starting of the motor to be smoothly performed, which is advantageous in terms of torque ripple characteristics and die casting.

The rotor assembly includes a rotor core, wherein on a cross section of the rotor core, the rotor core is provided with slit slots, q-axis squirrel cage slots and permanent magnets, the q-axis squirrel cage slots are disposed at two ends of the slit slots, the permanent magnets are disposed in the slit slots, the permanent magnet located at the innermost layer in a d-axis direction is at least asymmetrically disposed relative to a d-axis, and an offset direction of the permanent magnet located at the innermost layer relative to the d axis is consistent with a rotation direction of the rotor assembly.

A coil unit of the stator includes stator permanent magnets mounted in grooves of two stator cores and four same coils, and some same coil units form a three-phase stator coil. The rotor includes rotor cores, enclosed squirrel cages and rotor permanent magnets. The controller outputs a three-phase power source having a same positive and negative half sine-wave or step-wave pulse.

A strip of laminating steel for electric motors or generators is rolled over a mandrel in order to create an electric motor rotor or stator. The outside diameter of the mandrel determines the inside diameter of the roll, while the length of the strip determines the outside diameter of the roll. Slots for the insertion of magnet wire are either precut into the sides of the strip, or cut into the sides of the roll with metal working machinery after the roll has been wound. The slots can be created on one or both sides of the roll. Inserting magnet wire coils in these slots creates a rotor or a stator for an electric machine. A rotor surrounded by two identical stators with their stator windings facing the two rotor sides, or a stator containing slots on both sides which share one winding in its stator slots surrounded by two identical rotors comprise the main components.

An electric drive comprises a bearingless electric machine, a converter, and a control device. The stator of the electric machine has a cage winding including bars connected to a conductor ring. The control device controls the converter to supply torque generating current components to the bars so that torque is generated in accordance with electric machine control and to supply levitation current components to the bars so that the rotor of the bearingless electric machine is levitated in accordance with levitation control. The cage winding allows the currents of the bars to be controlled so that different current sheet distributions can be generated so as to generate desired torque and magnetic force.
