  • Publication number: 20030020339
    Abstract: A rotating electric machine having a plurality of ventilating passages formed between a stator frame and a stator iron core, a cooler which cools a coolant is provided at least in one ventilating passage, communicating with a central portion of the stator iron core, of the plurality of ventilating passages, and a ventilating circuit in which the coolant cooled by the cooler is allowed to flow to the central portion of the stator iron core in a direction from an outer peripheral side to an inner peripheral side of the stator iron core via the at least one ventilating passage which communicates with the central portion of the stator iron core.

  • Publication number: 20020183946
    Abstract: An electromagnetic field analyzing method and an electromagnetic field analyzer and system for analyzer electromagnetic fields created in a rotary machine. An electromagnetic field is analyzed in a total analysis space of a rotary machine including a stator space containing a stator and a rotor space containing a rotor to determine a boundary field between the stator space and the rotor space.

  • Patent number: 6434491
    Abstract: A method of analyzing electromagnetic fields created in a rotary machine and an analyzer. The method and analyzer provide for an electromagnetic field in a total analysis space of a rotary machine including a stator space containing a stator and a rotor space containing a rotor to be analyzed to determined a boundary field between the stator space and the rotor space. The boundary field in a direction of rotation in modes is expanded and the modes obtained by expansion are converted into rotating magnetic field components. using the rotating magnetic field components as boundary conditions for a boundary between the stator space and the rotor space, an electromagnetic field in the stator space is analyzed and an electromagnetic field in the rotor space is analyzed.

  • Patent number: 6340853
    Abstract: Efficient ventilation and cooling for a rotor is realized at a low cost by reducing the pressure loss at inlet flow passages, which lead to axial flow passages through which cooling gas flows to the rotor. Inlet flow passages leading to axial flow passages for cooling an interior of the rotor are composed of convex portions, which are formed axially on surfaces of a rotor spindle between and below coil ends of the rotor, and concave grooves formed between the convex portions. Also, the convex portions are designed to have a height increasing toward a downstream side, and assuming that L designates an length of the convex portions, L is greater than a radial difference between the positions of a maximum radius and a minimum radius of the convex portions.
