Brad Chamberlin - Pendleton IN, US
Steven C. Burton - Anderson IN, US
Sean Stanley - Huntington IN, US

Assignee:

Remy Technologies, L.L.C. - Pendleton IN

International Classification:

H02K 11/00

US Classification:

Abstract:

An electric motor core member includes a body having an inner diametric portion including an inner arcuate surface and an outer diametric portion including an outer arcuate surface. The electric motor core member further includes a plurality of wall members provided on the main body. Each of the plurality of wall members projects outwardly from the outer arcuate surface and is arranged in a spaced relationship to define a plurality of conductor isolation channels. Each of the plurality of conductor isolation channels is adapted to receive one of a plurality of conductors with the plurality of wall members providing electrical isolation between adjacent ones of the plurality of conductors.

US Classification:

310 71, 439813

Abstract:

An electric machine includes a housing having an outer surface and an inner surface that defines an interior portion. The housing also includes a connection zone having a first end portion that extends from the outer surface to a second end portion that is exposed to the interior portion. The connection zone includes a connection passage. A terminal block extends through the connection passage. The terminal block includes a non-electrically conductive member that is sealed against the connection passage, and an electrically conductive member covered by the non-electrically conductive member. The electrically conductive member includes a first end section that extends to a second end section through an intermediate section. The first end section has a first connection zone and the second end section has a second connection zone. The second connection zone is at an angle relative to the first connection zone.

International Classification:

H01R 39/38

US Classification:

310239

Abstract:

Disclosed herein relates to a dynamoelectric machine brush. The brush comprising, a first brush surface electrically engagable with a rotatable conductor of a dynamoelectric machine in response to the brush being urged toward the rotatable conductor, and a contoured brush surface on a side of the brush opposite the first brush surface. The contoured brush surface further having at least one recess receptive of and complementary in shape to a biasing member that urges the brush towards a rotatable conductor of a dynamoelectric machine.

International Classification:

H02P 25/18

US Classification:

318519

Abstract:

An electric machine system includes an electric motor. The electric motor includes a stator having a plurality of windings that define a number of phases. A plurality of switch members are operatively coupled to the plurality of windings. The plurality of switch members are no more than one less than three times the number of phases. A controller is operatively coupled to the plurality of switch members. The controller selectively changes a state of the plurality of switch members to establish one of a first electrical connection configuration of the plurality of windings and a second electrical connection configuration of the plurality of windings.

International Classification:

H02G 3/22

US Classification:

174668, 29428

Abstract:

A connector member includes a coupler portion having a wall including a first end that extends to a second end that defines a connection zone. The wall includes an outer surface. A mounting portion is provided at the first end. The mounting portion includes one or more cantilevered beam elements that extend along the wall spaced from the outer surface. A locking member extends about the coupler portion between the one or more cantilevered beam elements and the outer surface of the wall. The locking member is configured and disposed to limit deflection of the one or more cantilevered beam elements to prevent removal of the connector member from a substrate.
