Abstract

A stator for an electrical machine, the stator including a plurality of stator teeth distributed in a non-uniform pattern with a short and long tooth spans along a circumference of the stator, wherein each stator slot between two stator teeth distanced by a long tooth span including an intermediate tooth for carrying a magnetic flux.

Claims (7)

1. A stator for an electrical machine, the stator comprising a plurality of stator teeth, the stator teeth being separated from one another by stator slots, each stator tooth being surrounded by a concentrated armature coil, the armature coils representing two or more different electrical phases, the stator teeth being distributed in a non-uniform pattern along a circumference of the stator, the non-uniform pattern comprising at least one short tooth span and at least one long tooth span, the short tooth span having a smaller dimension than the long tooth span, wherein none of the stator slots between two stator teeth distanced by a short tooth span is configured to carry magnetic flux while each of the stator slots between two stator teeth distanced by a long tooth span comprises an intermediate tooth for carrying a magnetic flux, wherein there is a long tooth span between each pair of adjacent stator teeth with coils in different electrical phases,

characterized in that the electrical machine further comprises a rotor having a plurality of poles, each pole comprising a permanent magnet, the short tooth span being equal to a pole span, and the number of poles being different from ten and/or the number of stator teeth being different from nine.

2. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein the stator is divided into segments such that a contact surface between two adjacent segments crosses at least one intermediate tooth.

3. The stator according to claim 2 , wherein the stator is divided into six, three or two segments.

4. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the pole number is greater than the stator tooth number.

5. A stator for an electrical machine, the stator comprising a plurality of stator teeth, the stator teeth being separated from one another by stator slots, each stator tooth being surrounded by a concentrated armature coil, the armature coils representing two or more different electrical phases, the stator teeth being distributed in a non-uniform pattern along a circumference of the stator, the non-uniform pattern comprising at least one short tooth span and at least one long tooth span, the short tooth span having a smaller dimension than the long tooth span, wherein none of the stator slots between two stator teeth distanced by a short tooth span is configured to carry magnetic flux while each of the stator slots between two stator teeth distanced by a long tooth span comprises an intermediate tooth for carrying a magnetic flux,

characterized in that there is one long tooth span per winding periodicity, each winding periodicity comprising one stator tooth section for each different electrical phase, each stator tooth section having one or more stator teeth with coils in the same electrical phase, and that the electrical machine further comprises a rotor having a plurality of poles, each pole comprising a permanent magnet, wherein a width of each intermediate tooth corresponds to a pole span.
