  • Publication number: 20220385048
    Abstract: An electrical conductor for a rotating electrical machine wound component includes a body formed of an electrically conductive material and a coating layer formed of an electrically insulating material, the coating layer partially covering the body. The conductor is formed of a first portion, referred to as the main portion, in which the body is covered by the coating layer, a second portion, referred to as the intermediate portion, in which the body is covered with residue of the coating layer, and a third portion, referred to as the stripped portion, in which the body is bare. The intermediate portion is arranged between the main portion and the stripped portion.

  • Patent number: 9071115
    Abstract: A stator which comprises a core, slots provided in the core and a coil comprising a plurality of windings, in which each winding consists of at least one conductor which is arranged in slots of the core associated with the winding, forming axial ripples and forming overall a spiral coaxial to axis A of the core which consists of a set of turns radially superimposed, wherein each conductor comprises a pair of electrical lead wires which are adjacent and which are arranged at the same radial dimension relative to one another, at each point of the conductor. The invention also proposes a method for constructing the stator.

  • Patent number: 8393072
    Abstract: A method of producing a stator for a rotary electrical machine comprising a body in which axial recesses are produced and comprising a plurality of conductors arranged in the recesses, which comprises a step of depositing conductors on a linear support that comprises transverse recesses, comprising a first phase of depositing conductors in the recesses in the support in order to form a first layer of conductors, and a second phase of depositing conductors in the recesses, in order to form a second layer of conductors that is arranged vertically above the first layer; the first deposition phase and the second deposition phase consists of depositing one and the same conductor on the linear support. The invention also proposes an arrangement of a set of conductors on a linear support obtained at the end of the deposition step.

  • Patent number: 8362664
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a rotating electrical machine (1), in particular an alternator or an alternator-starter for a motor vehicle. At least one bearing mount (48) is provided with at least one opening (49) opening onto the exterior of the bearing mount. A stator (16) comprising an electric coil (18) is provided. This coil includes a plurality of electric conductors, at least one of which includes an end forming an electrical neutral point of the coil. The machine further includes an electrical insulation member (70) configured to prevent any contact between the bearing mount (48) and said neutral point-forming conductor end. The insulation member extends at least partially through the opening of the bearing mount and is at least partially outside the bearing mount. The electrical insulation member being furthermore configured to rest at least partially on an outer surface (71) of the bearing mount.

  • Patent number: 7868507
    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine stator comprising an annular cylindrical body including axial grooves, and at least one phase winding including corrugated turns of wire, the phase winding comprising a first outer half-phase and a second inner half-phase which are radially superimposed, the first outer half-phase including outer leading-out wires projecting from the radial walls of the body and the second inner half-phase including outer leading-out wires projecting from the radial walls of the body. The invention is characterized in that for each phase winding, the wire length of each turn of the inner half-phase is greater than the wire length of each turn of the outer half-phase. The invention also concerns a phase winding designed to be mounted in such a rotor.
