Abstract: A metal support structural body is provided on the radially outer side of a phase ring for connecting a rotating electric machine armature winding at a stator end. An insulator ensuring an insulation distance to the ground is interposed between the phase ring and the metal support structural body. Thus, long-term reliability improves as compared to a conventional insulation-to-ground structure. Since the insulation distance to the ground is ensured by the insulator, the phase ring and the metal support structural body are configured with an insulation thickness smaller than needed for insulation to the ground, thereby improving cooling performance for the phase ring and the metal support structural body. Occurrence of induced current in the metal support structural body is suppressed, thus allowing application of a simple fastening structure such as metal bolts to a stator frame.

Abstract: A power conversion device converts a direct-current power on the DC side of the power conversion device to an alternating-current power by an inverter circuit having a plurality of semiconductor switching elements, and outputs the AC power from the AC side of the power conversion device. A current detector detects a reactor current output from the inverter circuit. As overcurrent detector detects overcurrent in a control mode in which the reactor current is caused to follow a reactor current command value, control circuit starts an overcurrent mode in which a time period where the reactor current monotonically decreases is provided. In the overcurrent mode, whether to switch the overcurrent mode to the normal control mode is determined based on the reactor current or in accordance with a timing corresponding to a zero-cross point of a voltage or current on the AC side.

Abstract: Stacked core sheets forming a stacked core of a rotating electric machine have tooth portions on the inner circumferential side. Axial-direction holes penetrating the stacked core in the axial direction are provided near the tooth bases and near the outer circumferential surface. Resin is injected through tooth base neighbor holes near the tooth bases and core outer circumferential holes near the outer circumferential surface of the stacked core, among the axial-direction holes in the rotating electric machine. Thus, the resin fills gaps near the tooth bases and near the outer circumferential surface of the stacked core, so that the stacked core sheets are bonded to each other, thus obtaining a rotating electric machine having such a stacked core.

Abstract: A power conversion device which reduces switching losses and stabilizes the output power. A switching-mode changer generates a reference signal for switching a mode of operation of the full-bridge circuit to a first switching mode or a second switching mode. In the first switching mode, an upper arm and a lower arm are switched synchronously, and a lower arm and an upper arm are non-conducting. In the second switching mode, the lower arm and the upper arm are switched synchronously, and the upper arm and the lower arm are non-conducting. The switching-mode changer adjusts the phase of the reference signal so that the reactive power is reduced.

Abstract: Using two converters placed in a primary-side and a secondary-side and each configured as a single-phase full-bridge, and one single-phase transformer TR, a power conversion device converts DC power of a primary-side capacitor to which a primary-side DC voltage is applied, to DC power of a secondary-side capacitor to which a secondary-side DC voltage is applied, through a transformer. A control device sets a dead time Td1 for the converter serving as a power-transferring side converter, to be equal to or less than a current-polarity reversal time Tcmtt, to thereby surely achieve zero-voltage switching.
