Abstract: In a method for starting a synchronous machine, a default torque is predefined, and a rotational speed of the synchronous machine is adjusted after starting. A torque which is higher than the default torque is predefined, and the higher torque is reduced in the subsequent second step to a positive value which is less than the default torque, and is increased to the default torque in a third step.

Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine-generator unit as a range extender, includes generating mechanical energy in a combustion engine, converting the mechanical energy into electric alternating current in a generator, rectifying the alternating current into direct current, and controlling the voltage of the direct current in an open-loop and/or closed-loop manner. The voltage of the direct current is carried out by controlling the rotational speed of the generator in an open-loop and/or closed-loop manner.

Abstract: The electrical machine, in particular a three-phase generator, has a stator (21) secured in a housing (10) and a claw pole rotor (23) which is secured on a shaft (13) and has an exciter winding (28). Between the claw pole rotor and a bearing plate (17) that closes off the housing, there is an electrical repeater (29) for exciting the exciter winding (28). The primary winding (30) is disposed along with the core (36, 41, 47) on the bearing plate (17). The primary and secondary windings (30, 31) of the repeater (29) are disposed between the bearing plate (17) and the claw pole rotor system (23); the primary winding (30) is disposed in a stationary core (36, 41, 47), and the secondary winding (31) is disposed in a rotating core (35, 42, 48), and the windings are coupled via an air gap (38).

Abstract: A synchronous machine, in particular a generator for a vehicle, has an excitation system with a plurality of electrically excited individual poles in a rotor, preferably in form of claw poles excited by at least one common excitation coil, in which for compensation of a magnetic stray flux, in the free spaces between the axially oriented claw poles permanent magnets are inserted at the axial ends of the pole plates of the rotor, so that the permanent magnets are supported by a holder against centrifugal forces and held by it, and therefore an especially simple and inexpensive holder is formed which considerably simplifies and facilitates the insertion of the permanent magnets.
