Abstract:
An electric motor comprising:a hollow cylindrical stator including a plurality of inwardly extending stator poles, each of said stator poles having an internal electrical conductor wound thereabout to form a winding having first and second ends;a cylindrical rotor rotatably mounted within said stator, said rotor including a plurality of outwardly extending rotor poles;a terminal strip connected to said stator, said terminal strip including a plurality of internal wire terminal members that are respectively connected to said first and second ends of said windings; anda plurality of external electrical conductor and terminal assemblies, each of said external electrical conductor and terminal assemblies including an external electrical conductor wire and an external wire terminal member, said external electrical conductor wires adapted to be connected to a source of electrical energy, said external wire terminal members being selectively connected to said internal wire terminal members so as to connect said windings in a desired manner to said external electrical conductor wires, at least one of said external electrical conductor and terminal assemblies being simultaneously connected to at least two of said internal wire terminal members.
