1. A winding reconfiguration assembly for a multi-phase electric machine, comprising:
a multi-position contactor device designed to switch stator windings in the multi-phase electric machine between a first electric configuration in a first position and a second electric configuration in a second position;
an electromagnetic actuator configured switch the multi-position contactor device between the first position and the second position in response to a change in a polarity of a coil in the electromagnetic actuator; and
a sensor coupled to an auxiliary contact and configured to sense a position of the multi-position contactor device.
