Publication number: 20230032311Abstract: A component for an electric machine includes a flat region in which an electric line runs when the component is integrated into the electric machine and which includes a sharp edged structure. A polymer layer adheres to the flat region without further aid such as to mask the sharp-edged structure and thereby protect from damage the electric line on the flat region. The polymer layer is made of cured plastic adhesive and jetted onto the flat region in the form of threads, such that the threads are spin-coated on top of one another in the form of overlapping loops and form a network structure which spans the sharp-edged structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2020Publication date: February 2, 2023Applicant: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: KLAUS BÜTTNER, TOBIAS KATZENBERGER, KLAUS KIRCHNER, BASTIAN PLOCHMANN, MATTHIAS WARMUTH

Publication number: 20220393537Abstract: Various embodiments of the teachings herein include an apparatus for voltage equalization in square-wave voltages of electric motors. The apparatus may include: a terminal board circuit wherein phases U, V, and W each comprises input and output cabled conductors summing to at least 6 cables; and a bridge between two of the at least six cables connecting two or more of the at least 6 cable inputs and outputs. The bridge is partially conductive such that its electrical resistance markedly reduces above a threshold value. The partial conductivity results from filler particles in an embedding matrix determining a reduction of the resistance in the bridge above the threshold value.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2020Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Tobias Katzenberger, Bastian Plochmann

Patent number: 11522424Abstract: A stator of an electric machine includes a laminated core having slots for receiving windings of a multiphase winding system. The windings have winding ends, which are encased with an insulator across a partial length. In order to encase the winding ends with the insulator, a strand of a thermoplastic material is extruded onto the winding ends via a nozzle. During extrusion, the nozzle is moved relative to the winding end along the longitudinal extent thereof and an oscillating movement of the nozzle transversely to the longitudinal extent of the winding end overlays the movement along the longitudinal extent. As a result the thermoplastic material lies on the winding end and around the respective winding end in the form of loops.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Klaus Büttner, Tobias Katzenberger, Klaus Kirchner, Bastian Plochmann, Matthias Warmuth

Verification device and method for verifying an electrical overvoltage between electrical conductors
Patent number: 10908217Abstract: A verification device for verifying an electrical overvoltage between two electrical conductors includes a conductor-track carrier made of an electrically insulating carrier material, a plurality of conductor tracks applied in spaced-apart relation from one another on the conductor-track carrier, and a measuring device acquiring an electrical resistance of one of the conductor tracks.
