Abstract
An electronic commutation motor including a stator unit configured as a pulse-modulation driven stator unit including at least two winding circuits in which an induced electromagnetic force is produced, and a phase switching switch; and a rotor unit powered by charge stored on a capacitor, wherein the capacitor is charged by diodes coupled between the capacitor the first winding circuits of the stator unit. In this way, the stator unit, serving as a first submachine, performs the function of power supply for the rotor unit serving as a second submachine, by charging of the capacitor via the diodes.
