  • Patent number: 10014740
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a chamber for housing strands of a stator bar for electric machines. The problem to provide a reliable chamber for a stator bar of an electric machine is solved with a stator bar chamber engaging a stator bar in an electric machine. The chamber includes a number of hollow conductors in a first straight part of the chamber, a number of hollow conductors in a second tapered part, and a number of hollow conductors and adjacent solid conductors in a third straight part. The first part of the chamber is closed with a ring mounted at the edge of the first part and a nipple adapted to the ring.

  • Patent number: 6965184
    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for supporting a winding (7) on a stator (1), in particular on a generator stator in a power station. The winding (7) has an end winding (9) which is supported axially on the core (2) of the stator (1) via winding supports (11) of the supporting apparatus (10). The winding supports (11) are supported on the end winding (9) via a stressing device (22), at right angles to an envelope surface (21). In order to improve the axial position between the winding support (11) and the end winding (9) during operation of the stator (1), a coupling device (23) is provided which allows relative movements between the end winding (9) and the winding support (11) in the circumferential direction and at right angles to the envelope surface (21), and prevents such relative movements in an envelope line direction (30).
