Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A motor structure and energization scheme provides a high efficiency electronically commutated reluctance motor that is characterized by less iron losses than conventional switched reluctance motors. The motor operates without the reversal of the flow of flux in the stator. Also, the flux switching frequency in the stator is minimized. By eliminating flux reversals and minimizing the flux switching frequency, the electronically commutated reluctance motor is operable over a wide range of speeds with improved efficiency. Structurally, the stator includes unevenly spaced poles which are grouped into pairs separated by a space related to the even spacing of the poles on the rotor. Adjacent …

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 15, 1989 and granted May 12, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 15, 2009.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 15, 2011.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
