We present an electric traction chain with segmented power supply for automotive applications. The concept is to split the windings of the electrical machine into sub-windings by bundle of turns. Each sub-winding is then fed by an independent low-voltage power electronics converter. We describe here the concept in details and discuss its advantages and its drawbacks. This allows us to identify the scientific and technical obstacles that will need to be solved.
