  • Publication number: 20250385580
    Abstract: A rotating electric machine includes a stator having a stator coil and a rotor having a rotor core and a field coil. The rotating electric machine is configured to have harmonic current flowing through the stator coil to induce field current in the field coil. The rotor further has a circuit module provided around a rotating shaft and connected with the field coil to form a resonant circuit together with the field coil, and a coil end cover covering a coil end part of the field coil which is located axially outside the rotor core. Moreover, the coil end cover is a balance adjustment member that adjusts weight balance of the rotor in the circumferential direction; and at least part of the coil end cover in the circumferential direction constitutes an adjustment portion where weight of the coil end cover has been reduced or increased.
