  • Patent number: 11936265
    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine includes an annular coil connection body provided coaxially with a stator. The coil connection body has, in a groove provided on a holder, an overhang portion for restricting an axial-direction movement of a terminal, and a positioning projection for restricting a radial-direction movement of the terminal. The positioning projection positions the terminal such that a part of the terminal overlaps the overhang portion in the axial direction. In this structure, when the terminal moves in a direction from a terminal holding portion toward a groove opening, the terminal comes into contact with a side surface of the overhang portion, whereby lifting and coming-off of the terminal can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 10559046
    Abstract: A power supply management system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a fee setting unit configured to set power fee unit prices (first power fee unit price and second power fee unit price) for each time slot, and a notification unit configured to notify a consumer of information on the set power fee unit prices. The first power fee unit price is a power unit price for a household electrical load, and the second power fee unit price is a power unit price in a case of using a charge/discharge device to charge a vehicle-mounted storage battery. The fee setting unit is configured to set, by predicting a load factor of a transformer, a discount rate of the second power fee unit price to become higher (second power fee unit price to become lower) as the predicted load factor becomes lower. The second power fee unit price is determined on the basis of the first power fee unit price and the discount rate.
