Abstract: A rotor of a cryogenic dynamoelectric machine comprises a supporting structure with radial slots therein separated by teeth. Coils of a superconducting field winding are placed in the slots and pressed by wedges fitted into axial grooves made in side walls of the slots. An annular shroud embraces the supporting structure. The outer surface of each wedge, facing the shroud, projects beyond the surfaces of the teeth arranged adjacent to the wedge, which also face the shroud. The shroud is provided with a radial interference fit with the outer surfaces of the wedges, with a first radial clearance formed between the shroud and the teeth. Provided between the surface of each wedge, facing the rotor axis and the opposite surfaces of the axial grooves, is a second radial clearance. The magnitude of each of the two clearances is no less than that of the interference fit of the shroud with the outer surfaces of the wedges.

Abstract: The end turn portions of the saddle-shaped coils of a superconducting field winding in the rotor of an electric machine are clamped in an axial direction by a wedge device positioned in an annular recess between its wall and the nearest end turn portion. The wedge device comprises two rings mounted coaxially with the recess and having their sides facing each other bevelled so that the distance therebetween increases toward the axis of the rings. These sides are provided with radial depressions. Bolts with heads tapering toward the threaded portions are positioned in the depressions. When the bolts are radially shifted the rings are forced apart thus pressing the end turn portions one to another and to the wall of the recess.

Abstract: The rotor of an electric machine with a superconducting field winding has a hollow support structure with the superconducting winding, enclosed in a shrouding cylinder. Formed inside the shrouding cylinder, in the support structure, is a ring header communicating with the cooling ducts for the superconducting winding. In the internal cavity of the support structure is a trough for feeding the coolant communicating with the ring header in the large tooth area by means of radial holes spaced apart along the rotor axis, which receive heat-conductors with ducts for transferring the coolant from the trough to the ring header. On the periphery of the support structure, in the portion or sector of the support structure tooth, is formed a recess communicating with the ring header and having mounted therein other heat-conducting members extending in the radial direction and thermally insulated both from the support structure and from the heat-conductors.

The radial vent ducts (4) in each area of the stator core (3), adjoining to the end connections (5) of the stator winding are separated from the remaining radial vent ducts (4) by two cylindrical partitions (14 and 18).

Abstract: A locking structure for the rotor end winding of a distributed polar electric machine comprises a retaining ring embracing the rotor end winding and fixed on the rotor body by a shrink fit, and a locking ring preventing the retaining ring from axial shift with respect to the rotor body. The locking ring embraces both the retaining ring and the rotor body within their connection area and is secured firmly against radial shift with respect to both of them by the shrink fit. Said locking ring has bayonet joint portions on its inner surface at one of the end faces thereof, and has a bead at its other end face, serving as a thrust for a ring key. Mating portions of the bayonet joint are provided on the outer surface of the retaining ring, while the ring key is located on the rotor body.

Abstract: The disclosed arrangement for supporting stator end windings of an electric machine comprises a rigid inner ring and an outer ring, said rings being made of electrically insulating material. The inner ring is mounted coaxially with the inner bore of the stator core and supports the end portions of a stator bar winding, and the outer ring externally embraces these end portions. Both rings are mounted and secured together along the head portions of the end windings. The inner ring is attached to Z-shaped members arranged adjacent to the end portions and preventing the inner ring from axial displacement relative to the end portions. This is achieved due to the fact that a projection of each Z-shaped member, facing the end surface of the core, is positioned between winding bars at their outlet from core slots, said projection being rigidly connected with one of the brackets movably associated with a clamping plate of the core and attached to the outer ring.

Abstract: A stator bar winding of a slotless-core electrical machine comprises conductors enclosed in an insulating sheath with the conductors arranged in three concentric layers. Conductors of the inner layer are placed underneath every second conductor of the middle layer, whereas the conductors of the outer layer are placed over every other conductor of the middle layer. The conductors of the middle layer are bent in their overhang portions from the axial direction to the angle (90.degree.-.alpha..sub.1) which is twice as small as the angle 90.degree.-.alpha..sub.2) to which the overhang portions of two other layers are bent. The conductors of the middle layer are also electrically connected in series and alternately to respective conductors of the outer layer or inner layer.
