  • Patent number: 9966819
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric machine (10) which is embodied as an alternator, comprising a rotor (20) and an axis of rotation (183), a stator iron (17) which maintains a stator winding (18). Said stator winding (18) comprises phase terminals of winding wires (204), a rectifier circuit (151) which comprises at least one bridge circuit consisting of a positive diode (99) and a negative diode (58). Said positive diode (99) and the negative diode (58) are connected in an electrically conductive manner to the phase terminal of winding wires (204) by means of a metal connecting element (133, 146) which has two half arms (215). One half arm (215) is connected in an electrically conductive manner to a positive diode (99) by means of a connecting section (216) and another half arm (215) is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the negative diode (58) by means of another connecting section.

  • Patent number: 8907537
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical machine, particularly an alternating current generator, that can be designed as a three-phase alternator, for example, having—preferably electrical—components that are protected from access, wherein to this end there is a protective cap (47) fastened by means of at least one snap region (103), wherein the snap region (103) has a snap-in hook (92) having a snap-in hook root (106), wherein there is a bending region (109) between the snap-in hook (92) and the snap-in hook root (106), wherein the bending region (109) has a cambered surface (112, 115).
