Abstract
An electrical machine and method for driving at least one ancillary device of a motor is provided wherein the electrical machine comprises a stator, configured to be rotated, and a rotor, rotatably mounted relative to the stator, coupled to the ancillary device. The speed of the rotor may be a function of the rotational speed of the stator and the frequency of a supply current supplied to the electrical machine and thus drives the ancillary device at a demanded load/speed.
