  • Publication number: 20210288542
    Abstract: A stator for an electric machine having slots for receiving conductors used for generating a magnetic field; in the slots, at least two mutually parallel, adjoining conductors being provided, which are electrically insulated from one another by insulation means; the insulations means being formed at least partially by a partition inserted between the conductors. It is an object of the present invention to provide a stator, respectively a method for manufacturing such a stator, which, on the one hand, will make it possible to achieve a high fill factor and, on the other hand, to reliably prevent partial discharges. The objective is achieved by the use and/or characteristics of the partitions being a function of the particular maximum voltage potential between the mutually parallel, adjoining conductors in the slots.

  • Patent number: 10320255
    Abstract: A wave winding for a stator of an electric machine is configured to be placed in a series of stator grooves located along a periphery of the machine to increase power and efficiency of the machine by avoiding losses, particularly during upper rotational speed range operation. The wave winding has at least two conductors for one respective phase of the machine. The conductors are interconnected in parallel and/or series and can be disposed at a given winding pitch in a number of at least two successive stator grooves of each magnetic pole and each phase of the machine in a sequence predefined for each phase and for one respective magnetic pole along the periphery of the machine. The predefined sequence at least of the conductors interconnected in parallel is transposed by at least one groove skip in at least one position along the periphery of the machine.

  • Patent number: 10224771
    Abstract: Circulating currents are suppressed and thermal losses are reduced in a three-phase permanent-magnet-excited synchronous machine in a delta circuit. The machine has a stator in which, during operation, a voltage is induced by way of a magnetic field generated by magnetic poles of a rotor. A field strength of the magnetic field has, along a circumferential coordinate of the rotor, a profile formed from superimposition of a sinusoidal basic function and of sinusoidal harmonics of the basic function. Groove recesses and/or cavities are located in and/or under a circumferential face of the rotor that face the stator and follow an axial extent of the pole pitch of the rotor in their longitudinal extent and extend transversely with respect to the longitudinal extent along the circumferential coordinate in the region of the maximum values of at least the third harmonic and outside the maximum values of the basic function.
