  • Publication number: 20220360130
    Abstract: A winding for an active portion of a rotary electric machine has at least one phase system including a plurality of phases each including a first energizing pin and a second energizing pin each forming a phase input or output. Each energizing pin includes an energizing end that extends out of the slot and each energizing end that forms a phase output being electrically connected to an energizing end that forms a phase input of a different phase, in order to achieve a delta configuration. The winding includes a first set including at least one energizing end forming a phase input and at least one other energizing end forming a phase output, and a second set including at least one energizing end forming a phase input and at least one other energizing end forming a phase output.

  • Publication number: 20220255390
    Abstract: A winding for an active part of a rotary electric machine having at least one phase system. The winding includes a plurality of phases each including a first power supply pin and a second power supply pin each forming a phase input or output, each power supply pin including a power supply end that extends outside the slot and extends a conductive segment that extends inside the slot. At least one portion of a first power supply end is arranged on an inner periphery of the winding, the first end extending a conductive segment arranged in an external layer and at least one portion of a second power supply end is arranged on an outer periphery of the winding, said second end extending a conductive segment arranged in an internal layer, the inner periphery being closer to the axis than the outer periphery and the internal and external layers forming edge layers.

  • Patent number: 10263551
    Abstract: The method of control according to the invention slaves a DC voltage generated by the alternator to a predetermined setpoint value by controlling an excitation current flowing in an excitation circuit comprising an excitation winding of a rotor of the alternator. The excitation current is controlled by means of a semiconductor switch, in turn controlled by a control signal having a predetermined period. The method comprises a detection of a failure of the excitation circuit. At least one short-circuit of the excitation winding is detected. According to another characteristic of the method, the control signal is generated on the basis of a combination of a setpoint signal formed by pulses of the predetermined period exhibiting a duty ratio representative of the setpoint value and of a detection signal indicative of the short-circuit.

  • Patent number: 8210021
    Abstract: An Aromas kit uses containers of certain discrete molecules to provide odors suitable for an olfactory education of wine properties. The disclosed molecules may be found within certain wines and provide a useful olfactory reference when smelling a finished wine sample, even when the wine sample contains a myriad of other conflicting or competing molecule smells.
