  • Methods and apparatus for reducing machine winding circulating current losses
    Patent number: 10355550
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a system includes three conductors, each conductor being on a separate layer such that the layers are parallel to one another and stacked. Each conductor has a winding portion and a terminal portion. The conductors are configured such that at least one electrical interconnect electrically couples two adjacent conductors within the winding portion but the third conductor is electrically isolated from the other two conductors within the winding portion. Within the terminal portion all three conductors are electrically coupled.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 5, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 16, 2019
    Assignee: Boulder Wind Power, Inc.
    Inventors: Brian J. Sullivan, Stephane Eisen, Jessica L. Colton
