Abstract: In order to provide an electric rotary machine in which the cooling performance can be improved without providing specific means on the flow path of cooling gas and without increasing the flow rate of the cooling gas, a plurality of through holes 21 perforated in each of plate-shaped conductors 16 forming a winding conductor 15 are arranged in plural rows of through holes 21a, 21b in the width direction of the plate-shaped conductor, a plurality of cooling gas flow paths 20 formed in the winding conductor 15 branch off into plural rows and the cooling area for the cooling gas is increased.

Abstract: In a generator starting apparatus, in which commercial frequency electric power supplied from an electric power system is converted into variable-voltage variable-frequency electric power to thereby start a gas turbine generator, a harmonic-component removing apparatus is provided which removes harmonic components contained in the converted variable-voltage variable-frequency electric power on the basis of the detected harmonic components. In addition, an apparatus for removing harmonic components generated in an electric power equipment is provided, wherein harmonic components contained in an electric power system are detected so that they may be removed.

Abstract: The rotor 2 of a rotating field type turbine generator is provided with slots 3 for accommodating the field windings, wedges 4 positioned at the portions of the magnetic poles on the rotor 2 for holding the field windings and wedges 5 positioned between the magnetic poles on the rotor. These wedges 4 and 5 are constituted by metal bars without joints to enhance damper effect thereby. Magnetomotive forces due to higher harmonics, which causes temperature rise of the rotor 2 and torque ripple during starting with thyristors, induces an elliptic rotating magnetic field having the longer diameter on d axis extending in the direction of magnetomotive force induced by the field windings and the shorter diameter on q axis perpendicular to d axis, and thus a larger eddy current is induced flowing along q axis on the rotor 2 than that flowing along d axis.

Abstract: The rotor for a dynamo electric machine serving as a synchronous generator as well as being designed operable as a variable speed motor for starting a prime mover for the synchronous generator, the rotor (1) comprising a rotor core (2), a plurality of slots (4) disposed around the circumference of the rotor core (2) and extending along the axial direction of the rotor core (2), rotor windings (3) being accommodated in the slots (4) and wedges (6) being accommodated in the slots (4) over the rotor windings (3) near at the surface of the rotor core (2) for preventing the rotor windings (3) from being pushed out due to a centrifugal force caused by rotation of the rotor (1), wherein wedges (6) where an eddy current flows are formed by Cu-0.05.about.4 wt % Zr-0.3.about.5 wt % Ni-0.2.about.1.5 wt % Si having a 0.2% proof stress equal to or more than about 20 Kg/mm.sup.
