Abstract: A hydrogen cooled generator having an axis and more than three phases, the generator comprises a main casing section enclosing a stator with windings; a casing end section; at least one end winding disposed in the casing end section; a toroidal duct formed on at least one of the casing end section and the main casing section having a bottom wall and two side walls, wherein at least one of the bottom wall and the two side walls shares a wall of the casing end section so as to form a common wall; at least one bushing penetrating the common wall and inclined towards the axis of the generator so as to form an inclination, the at least one bushing having a first end connected to the at least one winding and a second end terminating in the toroidal duct.

Abstract: A synchronous machine (10), especially a turbogenerator, includes a rotor (12) rotatable about a rotor axis, the rotor being concentrically surrounded by a stator (11), with an air gap (26) between said rotor (12) and stator (11), and includes a rotor damping system (14). Damping losses are substantially reduced by providing a system in the air gap (26) for controlling the stator magnetic field (13).
