1. This appeal is directed against an order dated 28 October 2024 whereby an
application for invention relating to an electrical sub-assembly for use in
electric/hybrid vehicles has been rejected. The object of the invention was
to provide improved electrical sub-assembly so that the suitability of
Switched Reluctance Machines(SRMs) as speed drives in order to generate
motion for commercial applications, particularly hybrid electric vehicles
(HEVs) and electric vehicle (EVs), would improve.
2. It is contended on behalf of the appellant that the technical effect of the
invention is reduction in the total components in the SRM to build a motor
of type claimed, i.e., fewer busbars, which improves ease of manufacture
and allows for lighter more compact motor designs. The subject invention is
targeted to reducing the number of electrical components, e.g. busbars,
required to connect the drive configuration to the coils of the stator and
enhance the suitability of SRMs for commercial applications.
