Abstract: An automotive generator that includes a Lundell rotor. First and second protruding portions are disposed so as to project from inner wall surfaces of portions of first and second yoke portions at root portions of first and second claw-shaped magnetic pole portions, and first and second recess portions are recessed into inner wall surfaces of portions of the first and second yoke portions that face the second and first protruding portions. In addition, a shape of a region in which the field coil is disposed is configured into a wave shape that has a cross-sectional shape in a plane that includes a central axis of the pole core that is approximately constant in a circumferential direction and that zigzags alternately in an axial direction at positions of each of the first and second claw-shaped magnetic pole portions.

The moving stator drive is detachable with respect to the housing. Coil leader lines are stored in an internal part of the housing so that the moving stator is capable of rotating by a predetermined angle.

Abstract: An electric rotating machine comprises: a stator in which a coil is wound on a plurality of teeth in concentrated winding, and the coil is connected to a three-phase power supply; and a rotor disposed in opposition to the teeth of the stator; wherein a ratio between the number of poles and the number of slots of the stator is 1:3. There is no higher harmonics of magnetomotive force in low order close to fundamental wave, thus enabling efficient operation of the electric rotating machine. Furthermore, owing to the stator of concentrated winding, it is possible to provide an electric rotating machine of high productivity with small coil end, high mass production, and high space factor.

Abstract: In a rotating electric machine including a field pole unit having ten magnetic poles (P=10) and an armature having twelve teeth (Q=12), armature coils are wound around the successive teeth with phase relationships and winding polarities arranged in the order of U+/U+, U?/V+, V?/V?, W?/V+, W+/W+, W?/U+, U?/U?, U+/V?, V+/V+, W+/V?, W?/W? and W+/U?, where “U,” “V” and “W” represent three phases of the individual armature coils while “+” and “?” denote winding polarities. Among all harmonic components of magnetomotive forces produced by the armature coils, harmonic components of orders lower than a synchronized component can be reduced in this rotating electric machine. This structure decreases eddy currents flowing in the field pole unit, resulting lower eddy current loss in the field pole unit of the rotating electric machine.

The armatures are arranged concentrically with each other in such a manner that electrical angular positions of the individual armatures can be relatively varied in a circumferential direction. The armature coils of each phase are series-connected and the rotor is arranged concentrically with the armatures on the inside thereof.
