An electric generator comprising a rotor with permanent magnets, configured for rotating about a rotation axis; a stator comprising at least one magnetic yoke with arms extending axially inside or outside of the rotor so as to be adjacent to a radial inner or outer side, respectively, of the rotor; wherein the arms of the at least one magnetic yoke are circumferentially distributed so as to form a slot between each pair of adjacent arms, each slot and each arm showing a width. The widths of the arms and/or the widths of the slots have different values distributed along the circumference. The invention is also directed to a valve comprising the electric generator equipped with a turbine wheel for being driven by a flow of gas in the valve.

A synchronous electrical motor, which may operate poly-phase electrical power, is configured to operate at a rated flux configuration and a high flux configuration. To enable the high flux configuration, some coils wound about the stator of the electric motor can be designated bypass coils and can be selectively disconnected from the power source supplying the motor with electrical power. The remaining permanent coils continue to receive full line power and generate a rotating magnetic field with an increased magnetic flux. At startup from standstill conditions, the bypass coils are selectively disconnected so that a flux boost occurs and a corresponding increase in output torque of the electric motor.

A voltage limit ellipse is defined in a d-q coordinate system of a rotating electric machine by d-axis and q-axis currents flowing through an armature coil when the magnitude of a voltage vector applied to the armature coil is equal to a voltage limit value.

The stator pole is configured to occupy only a portion of a circumference of the winding space in the circumferential direction, and the magnetic return path region has a curved shape which adjoins the at least one pole head, as a result of which the magnetic return path region is designed to define the winding space in part transversely to the circumferential direction.
