    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine includes a rotating electrical machine body including a stator, a rotor, a fan configured to circulate a coolant for cooling the stator and the rotor, and a casing containing the stator, the rotor and the fan; and a cooler connected to the rotating electrical machine body. The coolant flows from the machine body into the cooler. The cooler cools the coolant. The coolant flows out of the cooler into the machine body. The cooler has a flow resistance Ra satisfying a relation 0.15<(Ra/Rm)<(P0/P1), wherein Ra is a flow resistance of the coolant in the cooler, Rm is a flow resistance of the coolant in the rotating electrical machine body, P0 is a shutoff pressure of the fan, and P1 is a pressure at an operating point of the fan when the flow resistance Ra of the cooler is assumed to be zero.

  • Patent number: 7902713
    Abstract: A self-starting type permanent magnet synchronous motor comprises a stator and a rotor. The rotor comprises a rotor core having a plurality of slots provided in an outer periphery thereof and a cage winding comprising conductive bars embedded in the slots and conductive end rings that short-circuit the conductive bars on both end faces of the bars in an axial direction thereof. The rotor core comprises at least one magnet insertion hole arranged on an inner peripheral side from the slots, and at least one permanent magnet embedded in the at least one magnet insertion hole. When a pole center axis is denoted as a d-axis and an axis deviating from the pole center axis by an electrical angle 90° is denoted as a q-axis, a flux content generated by the cage winding during start-up becomes maximal in the vicinity of and on one of the d-axis and the q-axis.

  • Patent number: 7501734
    Abstract: The invention provides a motor comprising a stator and a rotor. The stator core includes a laminated stator core made of laminated stator core plates in which straight cut surfaces are formed on a circular outer peripheral surface of the laminated stator core plates. The straight cut surfaces of the laminated stator core plates are circumferentially displaced every predetermined laminated stator core plates so that the straight cut surfaces are uniformly distributed in an axial and a circumferential direction of the laminated stator core. Therefore, a flow passage for lubricating oil is ensured, while local magnetic saturation of the stator core is dissolved and a cogging torque and an induced voltage waveform distortion rate are improved.
