A low-ripple multi-phase internal rotor motor has a slotted stator (28) separated by an air gap (39) from a central rotor (36). The rotor has a plurality of permanent magnets (214), preferably neodymium-boron, arranged in pockets (204) formed in a lamination stack (37), thereby defining a plurality of poles (206) separated by respective gaps (210).

A multi-pole electric pulse generator containing magnetic poles having a pseudo-random distribution. Preferably, the magnetic poles are equal in size and interval, and the polarity conforms to a pseudo-noise binary sequence, which sequence is specifically a primitive polynomial m-sequence. At one position in the rotor rotation, all rotor poles are aligned with corresponding stator poles to provide maximum net magnetic flux through the armature windings. At all other rotor positions, the poles are misaligned and the net magnetic flux through the armature windings is small.

The use of power switches in H-bridge configurations allows the faulty windings or winding groups to be disabled and that the rest of the windings or coils can be used for driving the rotor, this giving the motor system a high reliability. The current supplied to other windings or winding groups can then be increased to compensate for the faulty group. The coil groups can be separated from other coil groups by unwound stator poles. Current sensors (303) can sense the current in each winding group and be used to detect whether the currents are too high. The sensed currents can be used to identify fault conditions in the system so that then suitable switches can be disabled, disconnecting a faulty winding group.
