Abstract
A method and apparatus for reducing winding failures in reluctance machines wherein winding coils for the switched reluctance motor are formed and positioned such that the turn-to-ground capacitance of the portion of the winding coil coupled to an electronic motor controller is reduced. Alternate embodiments are disclosed wherein additional insulation, and capacitive voltage distributors are provided to enable a switched reluctance motor to better handle the voltage stresses produced when high frequency or high dV/dt voltage pulses are provided to the motor.
