  • Patent number: 7088027
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotating asynchronous converter and a generator device. The converter comprises a first stator connected to a first AC network with a first frequency f1, and a second stator connected to a second AC network with a second frequency f2. The converter also comprises a rotor means which rotates in dependence of the first and second frequencies f1, f2. The stators each comprises at least one winding, wherein each winding comprises at least one current-carrying conductor, and each winding comprises an insulation system, which comprises on the one hand at least two semiconducting layers, wherein each layer constitutes substantially an equipotential surface, and on the other hand between them is arranged a solid insulation.

  • Patent number: 6995646
    Abstract: A power or regulating transformer with voltage regulator includes regulating windings made of a flexible conductor having an electric field containing mechanism that forces the electric field due to the current in the winding to be contained within the flexible conductor. Since virtually no electric field is to be found outside the flexible conductor of the regulating winding, the regulating winding may be formed without having to consider the electric field distribution, thus providing for a transformer with a favorable regulating winding design.
