Abstract: A method and device for producing a winding mat for a stator or rotor of an electric motor, in which two conductor strands are each fed to a respective receiving device along an X direction. Oppositely disposed winding heads are formed by a shaping tool and a layer step is stamped in the winding heads in the opposite sense in a Y direction. Bars that extend in a Z direction are formed by a movement of the receiving devices on a curved path, and a lifting movement of the receiving devices is carried out. The conductor strands are transferred to a conveying device and transported in X direction by one conveying cycle. The steps are repeated until a winding mat has been produced having a defined quantity of windings formed in each instance by the two conductor strands and in each instance comprise two winding heads and four bars.

Abstract: A dual-layer wave winding mat for power-dependent component of an electric machine, formed of a first mat and an identical second mat, each having at least one conductor strand which includes at least one conductor formed in parallel webs and winding heads which connect the latter to one another. The webs of the first mat and the webs of the second mat are arranged to alternate in a first mat plane and a second mat plane. The first mat and the second mat are arranged to be offset relative to one another such that a single-layer start region is formed only by the first mat and a single-layer end region is formed only by the second mat.

Abstract: A power-generating component of an electric machine having an annular lamination stack with a plurality of radially arranged slots and a wave winding with at least a first and a second continuous conductor guided in in a plurality of revolutions through adjacent slots and which are connected in parallel or in series and form a composite conductor. The composite conductor has a slot jump in which the first conductor and the second conductor span an equal number of slots and in which there is a layer change. The composite conductor has at least one slot jump change in which the first conductor and the second conductor span different numbers of slots such that the arrangement of the first conductor and the second conductor relative to one another is swapped after the slot jump change. There is at least one slot jump change within every revolution of the composite conductor.

Abstract: A method for producing a winding mat for a stator or a rotor of an electric motor includes providing two conductor strands with at least one conductor in each instance; feeding the conductor strands in each instance to a receiving device along an X direction of a Cartesian coordinate system; simultaneously forming oppositely arranged winding heads at the two conductor strands, each forming a gable. A layer step is stamped in the gables preferably simultaneously. Subsequently, bars extending in opposite direction are formed before the receiving devices are detached from the conductor strands, and the conductor strands are transported by one conveying cycle. The above-mentioned steps are repeated until a winding mat with a defined quantity of windings comprising two winding heads and four bars, respectively, has been produced.

Abstract: A system and a method for identifying a non-switching semiconductor switch are proposed. The system has a first acquisition component, a second acquisition component and a determination unit. The first acquisition component is designed to acquire a profile of an electrical variable of a first semiconductor switch driven by way of a first drive signal. The second acquisition component is designed to acquire a profile of an electrical variable of a second semiconductor switch driven by way of a second drive signal and connected in parallel with the first semiconductor switch. The determination unit is designed to use the profile of the electrical variable of the first semiconductor switch and the profile of the electrical variable of the second semiconductor switch as a basis for determining an output signal that allows identification of a non-switching semiconductor switch for the first semiconductor switch and/or the second semiconductor switch.

Abstract: A coil with a distributed winding formed from hairpins that each have two straight-line conductor portions arranged in different slots of a coil body. Contact regions shaped in circumferential direction adjoin the conductor portions at one axial end and are connected at the other axial end through a turning region. The contact regions have at the end remote of the coil body a connection portion that are aligned in radially extending rows. The contact regions of a layer are shaped in the same circumferential direction. A portion of the contact regions of an outer layer is deformed in radial direction to form an additional, and these contact regions are shaped in a circumferential direction opposite to the contact regions of the outer layer.
