  • Publication number: 20220360130
    Abstract: A winding for an active portion of a rotary electric machine has at least one phase system including a plurality of phases each including a first energizing pin and a second energizing pin each forming a phase input or output. Each energizing pin includes an energizing end that extends out of the slot and each energizing end that forms a phase output being electrically connected to an energizing end that forms a phase input of a different phase, in order to achieve a delta configuration. The winding includes a first set including at least one energizing end forming a phase input and at least one other energizing end forming a phase output, and a second set including at least one energizing end forming a phase input and at least one other energizing end forming a phase output.

  • Patent number: 10069355
    Abstract: A rotor for a rotary electrical machine, fitted such as to rotate around an axis (X), and comprising a pair of magnet wheels (17) which each have a flange (18) and a plurality of magnetic poles (19). Each magnetic pole (19) extends axially from the flange (18) towards a free end (26), and has an outer surface (27). The outer surface (27) of at least one magnetic pole (19) of at least one magnet wheel (17) has at least one decreasing segment (29). The decreasing segment (29) is configured such that a radius between the said outer surface (27) and the axis (X) of the rotor (4) decreases, when going along the said decreasing segment (29), towards the free end (26) of the said magnetic pole (19).

  • Patent number: 9948230
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for controlling an alternator of the type that controls a DC voltage (B+A) generated by the alternator (11) according to a predetermined set voltage (U0) by monitoring the intensity of an energizing current (IEXC) flowing through an energizing circuit of the alternator. According to the invention, the device includes a voltage-control loop (7) and a temperature-control loop (17) which comprises a temperature sensor supplying a current temperature (T) of components of the alternator, a subtracter (19) supplying a temperature error (?t) between the current temperature (T) and a maximum acceptable temperature (Tmax) and a control module (20) supplying a maximum admissible energizing percentage (rmax) in accordance with the temperature error according to a predetermined control law.

  • Publication number: 20180083498
    Abstract: The invention relates to a stator (13) for an alternator or an electric machine, which comprises: a cylindrical hub (14) in which a plurality of slots (201) that extend in the axial direction are formed, and a coil (12) mounted in the slots; in which the stator core (14) comprises: a cylindrical base portion (203) forming a cylinder head (203), a plurality of teeth (202) arranged such as to extend from the base portion towards an axial center (X-X), the plurality of slots (201) being defined by the base portion and by an adjacent pair of the teeth (202). For each notch (201) the width at the opening of the notch (l_eo) is smaller than the width (l_ec) at the cylinder head (203).
