Improved Planar Composite Structures and Assemblies for Axial Flux Motors and Generators

摘要

A planar composite structure (PCS) for use in an axial flux motor or generator is a conductive trace that, when energized, forms part of at least two windings that generate magnetic flux for at least two corresponding phases of the motor or generator. It may include a conductive layer disposed on the dielectric layer having a conductive layer comprising a. The planar composite structure (PCS) additionally or alternatively includes a first conductive layer comprising a first conductive trace that forms a first portion of a winding that, when energized, generates a magnetic flux for the first phase of the motor or generator, And a second conductive layer that is different from the at least one first conductive layer and includes a second conductive trace that forms a second portion of the winding. The first portion of the winding may be connected in series with the second portion of the winding, wherein the first portion and the second portion of the winding pass through each of the first portion and the second portion of the winding. The same amount of current can be configured and arranged to flow.
