Abstract: A brushless synchronous machine, for example a synchronous generator, having an exciter, whose field excitation winding is powered via a regulator connected to a separate auxiliary winding in the stator of the main machine in which the auxiliary winding has a number of phases that differs from the harmonic number of the harmonic wave that is the strongest in the event of a short circuit. In the case of a strong third harmonic wave, the auxiliary winding has a four- or five-phase design.

Abstract: In order to compensate for the effects of mechanical oscillations of the salient pole rotor in a synchronous machine in a simple manner, control coils are provided which generate a controllable quadrature-axis magnetic field. The control coils are arranged on the salient pole rotor in such a way that the quadrature-axis magnetic field generated by the control coils is superimposed in the air gap on the controllable direct-axis magnetic field generated by exciting coils enclosing each pole body of the salient pole rotor.

Abstract: A polyphase alternating current motor has in addition to a main winding that can be connected to a voltage source, a auxiliary winding arranged in the stator, such that at least one condenser is connected to both windings per phase. A decrease in condenser size while at the same time improving the degree of effectiveness is possible by virtue of the fact that the main and auxiliary windings are arranged in such a way as to yield an increase and phase leading of the voltage adjacent to the condenser. The condensers are connected to the windings in such a way that only capacitative leakage current flows in the auxiliary winding and the geometrical total of active and leakage current flow in the main current.

Abstract: A switchable arrangement for at least three different operating states is made possible with a minimum number of external winding terminals and a switching device as simple as possible, and current heating of the entire winding as uniform as possible. In the starting-up stages with free adaptation of the inrush current reduction and far-reaching avoidance of disturbing field harmonics is provided. The machine impedance is increased over the normal operating stage by the provision that in the normal operating stage the parallel connected winding branches assigned to a leg are separated and are assigned to different branches, remain without current in part in individual stages and/or are operated with partly different direction of excitation.

Abstract: An armature winding is provided for an induction machine with an odd phase number m.gtoreq.5 which has m connection points for its winding sections to a converter. Connections to the converter are made that first and second (m-1)/2 phase windings have current flow in opposite directions and the remaining phase winding advances outwards in electrical angle steps of (.pi./m). A higher pulse number and thus good concentricity characteristics with high machine efficiency can be attained with star or polygonal circuits of the phase windings, and an improved optimal adjustment of the load-bearing capacity of the most varying electronic components can be attained by the polygonal circuitry having multiple rings of the phase windings.

Abstract: A rotor for an electrical machine having standard axial cooling channels extending the length of the rotor, feeding regularly spaced radial cooling channels. The cooling distribution of the air flow coming into the rotor from the frontal sides is improved by blocking off some of the flow into the central radial channels, which in standard designs are excessively cooled, and thereby forcing the air flow to cool other radial channels better. By more evenly distributing the cooling air flow, less air flow is required, thereby saving energy. The invention is readily adaptable to various rotor configurations.

Abstract: For the desired pole-pair number combination p.sub.1 /p.sub.2 always those coils are omitted from the individual phases of the first pole-pair number p.sub.2, which form overlapping phase bands for the second pole-pair number in the coil side star; the remaining coils of each phase for 2p.sub.1 are distributed symmetrically along the periphery and in accordance with ##EQU1## over the base-speed winding connected in three-phase wye/three-phase wye configuration and the dead winding branches N.sub.1, connected in parallel or in series to it, for the first pole-pair number p.sub.1, whereby at least a large portion of the omitted coils is configured as additional dead branches for the second pole-pair number p.sub.2.

Abstract: A three-phase winding for numbers of poles 2p=4 comprises "with" and "counter" coil groups which are arranged asymmetrically and connected in series in such a way that there is no change of the maximum voltage present at the phase transitions, where this maximum voltage is determined for numbers of pole pairs 2p=6 by the sum of the absolute values of the adjacent potentials .vertline.U.sub.1 .vertline.+.vertline.U.sub.2 .vertline.=(3p-1) U.sub.SG with a corresponding minimum value of U.sub.1,2 =(p-1) U.sub.SG where U.sub.SG is the coil group voltage. The six winding ends (U, V, and W; X, Y and Z) are arranged physically side-by-side within a pole pair, and, in general, at most only four or six wiring connections need to be installed, only at two short respective circumference zones side-by-side.

Abstract: A three phase winding for a high voltage machine with Y connected legs, whose coil groups, disposed on the circumference so as to be cyclically distributed, consist of series connected coils alternatingly energized in the opposite sense, has its size and copper requirements reduced by providing as many coil groups with the same direction of the magnetic flux and direction of increase in potential as there are coil groups of opposite direction of the magnetic flux and direction of increase in potential with the groups so distributed over the circumference and interconnected lengthwise that, at most, the phase voltage is applied to the phase transitions between adjacent coil sides.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pole-changeable three-phase winding for p.sub.1 :p.sub.2 =(3m.+-.1)/3n (m and n being integers). This eliminates coils for the primary pole pair number p.sub.1 in the base winding branches and the parallel-connected null winding branches which are active only in this level. The same number of additional coils with reduced turn number are additionally series-connected between the terminals of the secondary pole pair number p.sub.2, so that at constant effective turn number w.sub.1 times the winding factor .xi..sub.1 a reduction of the copper losses is achieved.

Abstract: A pole changeable three phase winding for a fractional pole pair ratio p.sub.1 :p.sub.2 = (3m .+-. 1)/3n with p.sub.2 = 3n being an integral multiple of the number of phases and m and n being positive integers.Each phase winding for the first number of poles 2p.sub.1 consists of 2p.sub.1 /t equal winding branches, of which a number G, divisible by three, of so-called base winding-branches carry current for the first number of poles 2p.sub.1 and for the second number of poles 2p.sub.2, where one third of each of the base winding branches, for the second number of poles 2p.sub.2, are assigned to all three phase windings. The remaining number N of winding branches are designed as zero branches which are ineffective for the second number of poles 2p.sub.2, so that a division into G base winding branches and N zero branches according to G + N = 2p.sub.1 /t takes place, where t is an integral divisor of 2p.sub.1.

Abstract: In order to obtain any number of poles in the ratio p.sub.1 : p.sub.2 = 3m : 2n in a pole changeable three phase winding having nine base winding branches and only six connecting points with a simple, symmetrical, low harmonic content winding, three equiphasal induced coil sides belonging to the same phase of the winding are arranged such that for a pole pair number p.sub.2 they are located in three respective slots appearing as vectors with the same direction in the p.sub.2 pole pair slot-vector star or, in the case of at least two coils being arranged in each slot layer, two of every three such equiphasal induced coils belonging to the same phase for a pole number p.sub.2 are accommodated in a common slot with the third in a second slot appearing as a vector with the same direction in the p.sub.2 -pole pair slot-vector star.
