The transition to distributed multiphase inverter and motor concepts enables a novel level of system integration. A new smart stator tooth concept is presented. It comprises the integration of a segmented stator tooth together with dedicated power electronics and control electronics. This enables new degrees of freedom in terms of motor design, assembly and control.","PeriodicalId":423456,"journal":{"name":"2014 4th International Electric Drives Production Conference (EDPC)","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133594931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the manufacturing process of electrical machines, the used enameled wires are exposed to deformations which decrease the insulation resistance against partial discharge and disruptive discharge. A reduced insulation resistance shortens the product lifecycle. The active controllable and flexible winding needle is able to adapt its form to the mechanical behavior of wire during any deformation and thus to wind wires more gently. In the production of electrical machines the copper filling factor in the slot is often considered key. To provide the needed space for the tools to move through the stator while distributing the windings, the winding tools have to be rather small or the inner diameter of the stator has a minimum whereat the feasibility for needle winding is still present. With the actively controllable and flexible winding needle no more extra axis and other constructions are necessary to fulfill the requirements of a small tool at maximum flexibility.","PeriodicalId":423456,"journal":{"name":"2014 4th International Electric Drives Production Conference (EDPC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131062427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the primary reasons for heat treating of steel is to harden or strengthen it via carburizing, nitriding or similar where performance is measured in terms of hardened case depth. Conversely, annealing of electrical steel is designed to remove carbon (decarburizing) from the bulk of the steel with concurrent grain growth and stress relief. For electrical steel the annealing performance is therefore measured in terms of reduction in electrical losses. Data are presented showing that core loss in electrical steel is increased by any form of plastic and elastic stress. Furthermore, core loss is also highly dependent on residual carbon, therefore any additional reduction in carbon beyond that achieved in the manufacturing process utilized by the steel mill, even in the parts per million (ppm) range, further reduces core loss. As a result, annealing can enable significant electrical performance benefits by reducing core loss and exciting current by as much as a steel grade level or more. The chemistry and thermodynamic conditions for the decarburization reaction must be carefully controlled so that decarburization occurs without deleterious subsurface oxidation. Examples are presented for both annealing of semi-processed as well as fully processed electrical steels. Even with highly alloyed, thin electrical steels, that are used in high frequency applications, such as for Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and Electric Vehicle (EV) motor designs, annealing provides a material performance benefit, but the property improvement is limited to frequencies under 800 Hz, after which thickness and resistivity become the dominant factors in controlling losses.","PeriodicalId":423456,"journal":{"name":"2014 4th International Electric Drives Production Conference (EDPC)","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122766280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The automotive environment requires failsafe functionality which is independent of the wireless data transfer to the primary side.

The prototype is built and assessed based on experimental measurements and finite element analysis. The results indicate some practical challenges of integrating the combined heat exchanger and winding and controlling the coolant flow through the machine construction.
