    Abstract: An electric machine includes an alternating current electric motor comprising two semi-windings and an inverter comprising at least two inverter branches which are electrically connected each one to a respective semi-winding. The machine also includes a control unit which provides respective control signals to the two inverter branches so that they induce two alternating currents of frequency in the respective semi-windings. The control signals of the two inverter branches have a frequency smaller than the frequency and are also reciprocally out of phase by 180° relative to the frequency. This allows reducing ripples of the overall alternating current resulting from the sum of the two alternating currents provided by the two semi-windings.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electric-motor rotor may include providing a magnet of sintered magnetic material, the magnet having a first diameter; providing a sheath of composite material, the sheath having an inner diameter smaller than the first diameter; reducing the first diameter to a second diameter; fitting the sheath onto the magnet when the magnet has the second diameter; and letting the magnet with the sheath fitted thereon to interfere, allowing the sheath to exert inward pressure on the magnet. An electric-motor rotor may include a magnet of sintered magnetic material, the magnet having a first diameter; and a sheath of composite material, the sheath having an inner diameter smaller than the first diameter. The sheath may be associated with the magnet in such a way that the magnet with the sheath fitted thereon interfere so that the sheath exerts inward pressure on the magnet.
