Patent number: 8749109Abstract: A rotor disk for a rotor of a synchronous reluctance machine consists of a disk body material with high magnetic permeability. In order to improve the ability of the rotor disk to stand centrifugal and thermal loads, spokes extending in radial direction between a shaft opening and a disk periphery are provided with spoke openings. These openings extend over a wide distance both in circumferential direction and in radial direction to worsen the heat conducting properties of the spokes and to render the spokes less stiff.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2013Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: ABB Research Ltd.Inventors: Heinz Lendenmann, Bertil Larsson, Jonas Larsson, Par Ingelstrom, Gustav Borg

Patent number: 7019429Abstract: A method for mounting a tube in a space having a shape corresponding to the shape of the tube. The tube is inserted into the space, pressurized with a hot pressure medium causing the tube to expand until the space is filled, then a cold pressure medium is substituted for the hot pressure medium while maintaining constant pressure causing the tube to solidify in its expanded shape. Also, a rotating electric machine having such a tube between windings of a high-voltage cable in a stator slot.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 1998Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Assignee: Asea Brown Boveri ABInventors: Bertil Larsson, Bengt Rothman

Patent number: 6972505Abstract: A rotating electrical machine and method for making the machine, where the machine includes a high-voltage stator winding and elongated support devices for supporting the winding. The machine and method employ an arrangement of cable that is made of inner conductive strands, covered with a first semiconducting layer, which is covered with an insulating layer, which is covered with a second semiconducting layer. The cable is wound in slots in the stator such that separate cable lead-throughs are positioned in specific arrangements with respect to each other and in slots of the stator. The arrangement of the cable in the stator protects the integrity of the respective components in the cable and particularly the second semiconducting layer.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 1997Date of Patent: December 6, 2005Assignee: ABBInventors: Mats Leijon, Peter Templin, Bengt Rydholm, Lars Gertmar, Bertil Larsson, Bengt Rothman, Peter Carstensen, Leif Johansson, Claes Ivarson, Bo Hernnas, Goran Holmstrom, Bengt Goran, Alberti Backlund

Publication number: 20040034989Abstract: The invention concerns a method of dismantling a cooling tube (1) of polymer material and an elongate cutting tool used in said method. According to the method said tube (1) being fixed in an axially running cooling duct (2) in a stator tooth (3) of a stator (4) of a high-voltage rotating electric machine is cut at an axial level close to the stator (4) at both ends of the stator tooth (3). Then the cutting tool having a radially protruding cutting edge is inserted into the cut tube (1) at one of said ends, said tool being forced through the tube (1) along said duct (2) thereby slitting the tube (1) from inside. Thereafter the slit tube (1) is pulled out of the duct (2) with a twisting movement that causes breakage of the tube wall along the slit (7) and thus reduction of the tube diameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2003Publication date: February 26, 2004Inventors: Ivan Jonas, Bertil Larsson

Publication number: 20020195897Abstract: A device for avoiding wear between the cables in coilend packages on the stator (1) in a rotating electric machine comprises a resilient layer (10) in the contact area between two cables (4). The cables (4) are mutually secured by a securing device (12). The resilient layer (10) permits a certain relative movement between the cable (4) due to skewing of the resilient material and not due to sliding in the contact area.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 1999Publication date: December 26, 2002Inventors: MATS LEIJON, BERTIL LARSSON, HANS-OLOF KALLDIN, SOREN BERGGREN

Publication number: 20020047440Abstract: A rotating electric machine with high-voltage stator winding and spring-device supporting the winding and method for manufacturing the same is employed for high-voltage applications. In particular, the machine includes a stator with a winding that is made of a high-voltage cable that is drawn through a slot in the stator of the rotating electric machine. A spring member biases the high-voltage cable against a wall of the stator so as to avoid damaging an outer surface of the cable during operation of the machine. The outer surface of the cable is susceptible to being damaged because an outer surface of the cable includes a semiconducting material that could possibly be damaged if subject to vibration or abrasion against a slot wall of the slot.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 1999Publication date: April 25, 2002Inventors: MATS LEIJON, BENGT KOTHMAN, HANS-OLOF KALLDIN, BERTIL LARSSON

Patent number: 4988846Abstract: A contact nozzle for a wire-shaped welding electrode for arc welding is designed as a contact tube in the front section and as a guide channel for the electrode in the rear section. The guide channel is formed by an open groove made in the nozzle body. The feed by the electrode is hindered in the rectilinear feed direction by a convex projection of the groove wall. Particles, dragged into the nozzle with the electrode, fall out of the open groove and therefore cannot displace the contact tube.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1990Date of Patent: January 29, 1991Assignee: ESAB AktiebolagInventors: Karl-Ola Karlsten, Bertil Larsson

Patent number: 4812644Abstract: In a method and a device for assortment of objects a broadbanded light is emitted from a light source, which light is reflected via a rotary mirror against the objects falling freely immediately after they have left a conveyor belt. The reflected light is led via the other part of the same surface of the rotary mirror to an optical unit and is reflected against a double detector dividing the light flow into two wide ranges about 1 .mu.m. The detector signals are compared to one another and after processing the resulting signal is caused to actuate means separating the objects mechanically.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1987Date of Patent: March 14, 1989Assignee: AGEC ABInventors: Bertil Larsson, Erik T.
