Abstract: A rotor (1) for a rotary electrical machine, which includes two pole wheels (2) having a series of axial claw poles (20) of a trapezoidal overall shape which extend axially from the extreme radial outer edge of the pole wheel (2a) toward the other pole wheel (2b), such that each pole claw (20a, 20b) of a pole wheel (2a, 2b) is situated in the space which exists between two consecutive claw poles (20a) of the other pole wheel (2b). The rotor (1) includes magnetic assemblies (3) in the interpole space (22). An assembly (3) is composed of at least one magnetic member (31) and at least one magnet (30), received in a groove (21) made in each of the facing edge faces of the two adjacent claw poles (20a, 20b). This has the advantage of increasing the cross-section for the flow of rotor flux towards the stator, and of enabling the same milling cutter as has already been used to make the grooves in the edge faces of the claw poles.

Abstract: The invention concerns a polyphase stator (5) for a with rotating electrical machine claw-pole rotor comprising five or seven phases (132), a stator body having internally a plurality of notches delimited by teeth, each phase including at least one winding, each winding including coils with multiple turns, each coil enclosing a single tooth (61). The invention also concerns an alternator or an alternator starter comprising such a stator.

Abstract: In a rotary electrical machine, the stator is subject to eddy currents, causing losses. These losses are reduced by extending the path of the eddy currents whilst avoiding causing saturation. The invention therefore proposes to form recessed zones or slots (2) in the teeth (1) of the stator whose depth does not exceed one-half of the height of the tooth (1).
