Abstract

See full text

An electric motor includes a stator configured to receive electrical energy and generate an electromagnetic field in accordance with the electrical energy received. A rotor is in electromagnetic communication with the stator and is configured to rotate in accordance with the electromagnetic field generated by the stator. The rotor includes a plurality of poles including a first set of poles and a second set of poles. The first set of poles defines a first slot and the second set of poles defines a second slot that has a different configuration than the first slot to reduce a torque ripple effect. The electric motor may be used in a system having a power source configured to output direct current energy and an inverter configured to convert direct current energy to alternating current energy.
