Abstract: A stator winding includes a plurality of first to sixth winding sub-portions each having one turn. First series-connected windings are formed with the first, third, and fifth winding sub-portions connected in series. Second series-connected windings are formed with the second, fourth, and sixth winding sub-portions connected in series. Each of Winding phase groups for each phase is formed with the first and second series-connected windings connected in parallel.

Abstract: A method includes the steps of forming a substantially U-shaped insulator having outwardly bent portions formed by bending the side portions thereof at bent parts so as to be apart from each other, forming winding assemblies including strands of wire wound in a predetermined wound state, mounting the insulator in each slot in a manner such that the outwardly bent portions of the insulator protrude from an opening of the slot, and inserting the winding assemblies in each insulator from an open side of the slot by being guided by the outwardly bent portions and pushing the winding assemblies together with the insulator into each slot.

Abstract: The invention provides a coil member of rotating electrical machinery, by which improvements in the mass production and downsizing thereof are enabled, which is a coil assembly for rotating electrical machinery, consisting of a plurality of coil combinations mounted at iron core slots, wherein the respective coil combinations 14 are inserted into slots at pitches equivalent to an appointed number of slots, and are formed of an integral coil member 21 in which the first and the second linear portions 21A and 21B alternately disposed at the inner layer side and the outer layer side in the slots, and the first and the second turning portions 21C and 21D for connecting the first and second linear portions 21A and 21B adjacent to each other outward of one end side and outward of the other end side in the lengthwise direction of the slots are integrated together.

Abstract: A rotor for a dynamo-electric machine includes a rotor coil, a first pole core body disposed so as to cover the rotor coil formed with a plurality of first claw-shaped magnetic poles evenly spaced around a circumferential portion thereof being magnetized by magnetic flux, a second pole core body disposed facing the first pole core body having second claw-shaped magnetic poles spaced so as to intermesh between the first claw-shaped magnetic poles, a first magnetic body secured to the first pole core body which is magnetized in directions which reduce magnetic flux leakage with the second claw-shaped magnetic poles at each side surface of the first claw-shaped magnetic poles, and a second magnetic body secured to the second pole core body facing the first magnetic body across an air gap which is magnetized in directions which reduce magnetic flux leakage with the first claw-shaped magnetic poles at each side surface of the second claw-shaped magnetic poles.

Abstract: A rotor structure comprising a rotor coil for generating a magnetic flux, a pole core which covers the rotor coil and consists of a first pole core body and a second pole core body, each having a plurality of claw-like magnetic poles which are mated with each other, magnets provided on both sides of each of the claw-like magnetic pole for suppressing the leakage of a magnetic flux between adjacent claw-like magnetic poles, and reinforcements for holding the magnets in such a manner that the magnets are inclined so that the interval between the magnets becomes larger on the outer side than on the inner side. This rotor structure can reduce centrifugal force applied to the magnets.

Abstract: An automotive alternator in which a lead wire of a rotor coil extends along a wall formed in a root portion between claw-shaped magnetic poles so as to be substantially parallel to the axis of a shaft.
