  • Publication number: 20230274877
    Abstract: A three-phase autotransformer including three output groups and three inputs each connected to each of the outputs of a respective output group by windings, the windings being configured so that, when each input has a respective input voltage applied thereto, the three input voltages having the same input amplitude, being 120° out of phase with each other and defining a neutral point: for each output group, a main output voltage, taken between a main output of said output group and the neutral point, has an amplitude greater than the input amplitude; and output voltages of the autotransformer belong to a same Reuleaux polygon, each output voltage being associated with a respective output and being equal to a voltage between said output and the neutral point.

  • Publication number: 20230147036
    Abstract: Disclosed is a rotating electrical machine with axial air gap, comprising two rotors, each provided with superconducting axial magnetic flux barrier elements around an axis of rotation and having, between them, axial magnetic flux passage areas, at least one armature, comprising windings and a superconducting field coil surrounding the elements and the armature and capable of inducing an axial magnetic field. Each armature is positioned between two of the rotors. The superconducting elements of the rotors are coaxial with one another and also the flux passage areas. A first annular cryogenic enclosure encloses the field coil and a second cryogenic enclosure encloses the two rotors and the armature or only one rotor, with a third cryogenic enclosure around the other rotor without the armature.

  • Patent number: 11114233
    Abstract: An AC/DC converter comprising a set of two rectifying bridges, each rectifying bridge comprising a first output connected to an output terminal of the AC/DC converter by an interphase inductor. The interphase inductor may comprise a magnetic circuit comprising two branches that are substantially parallel and two windings, each winding being wound about one branch selected from the two branches. Each winding may be held away from the magnetic circuit, at every point of the winding, by means of a set of at least one holding block made of a material having an A-scale Shore hardness lower than or equal to 50 and being distant at every point from the branches.

  • Patent number: 10665384
    Abstract: A voltage step-up autotransformer topology and an AC-to-DC converter including such an autotransformer are provided. The autotransformer is configured to take, at input, a three-phase AC current (for example 115 VAC with a constant frequency), and to output nine output voltages, which are supplied to an 18-pulse rectifier bridge assembly so as to supply a high DC voltage (for example +270 VDC/?270 VDC). These are particularly suitable for AC-to-DC converters in the aeronautical sector.
