STATOR CONTROL SYSTEM

Abstract: a multi-phase electrical machine for use in an aircraft. the electrical machine includes a stator including a plurality of electrical phases. each electrical phase includes phase windings. the phase windings in each phase having a first end electrically connected to a common neutral conductor, and a second end providing an electrical connection from the phase winding to an electrical power source or load. the electrical machine also including an array of magnetic elements, the rotor being rotatably mounted with respect to the stator. the electrical machine also including sensing means configured to sense a condition of the stator indicative of an electrical fault in one of the plurality of electrical phases; and at least one electrical interrupter operable to electrically disconnect at least one first end of the plurality of phase windings from the common neutral conductor.
