n replaced by copper coils for which the order and position of each wire have been studied to withstand the centrifugal force of the rotor. Unlike permanent magnet motors, Renault engineers have been able to use their invention to inject current into the rotor winding and thereby alter the level of magnetic excitation. As such, when the motor is not being heavily used, excitation can be reduced, this, in turn, uses less magnetic force and means l...
