ISOLATED ELECTRIC COUPLER
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18701180 titled 'ISOLATED ELECTRIC COUPLER
Original Abstract Submitted
Generally described, aspects of the present application relate to mitigation of induced voltages in rotor components of an electric motor. Illustratively, one or more aspects relates to incorporation of one or more electrically insulating elements to isolate the rotor from the rest of the components of the electric motor. The electrically insulating elements are integrated into a coupler mechanism between the rotor and stator. Through insulation, the induced voltages cannot discharge through gears and bearings. Illustratively, the isolation coupler is placed on or proximate to the rotor shaft centerline and provides torque transmission.
