ABSTRACT:
An electrical machine is disclosed, capable of functioning as either a motor or generator, which has a salient pole rotor (23) and a stator having multiple phase windings (21) each comprising a concentrated, full pitch winding with one stator slot per pole per phase. The pole faces (27) of the salient poles of the rotor may be tapered to produce an air gap which increases from the front to the back of the pole face to counter the effect of armature reaction MMF. The taper of the pole faces is selected such that the resultant total flux density in the air gap from field and armature currents is quasi-rectangular. The quasi-rectangular flux densities rotating in the air gap produce quasi-rectangular phase voltages and currents when the machine is operated as a generator, and, when operated as a motor, the machine is adapted to accept quasi-rectangular supply currents or voltages of the type readily produced by variable frequency converter power supplies.
