  • C-SHAPED OR U-SHAPED HALF-COIL, ROTOR WINDING WITH SUCH A HALF-COIL AND ITS MANUFACTUING METHOD
    Publication number: 20170033629
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a winding of a rotor for use in rotating electrical machines. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention relate to innovative half-coils used for the winding of the rotor. Moreover, embodiments of the invention pertain to a method for winding a rotor body of an electrical machine. According to embodiments of the invention, half-coils, instead of being manufactured as double hollow conductors, are provided in the form of two single hollow conductors, which are adjacently embedded within a respective slot of the rotor body.

  • Rotor of a turbogenerator
    Patent number: 6744167
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor (1) for a turbogenerator having a field winding (4) which is formed from hollow conductors (3), having a damper bar (8), having insulation (9) arranged between the damper bar and the field winding, having a wedge (15) and having a gas outlet zone (5) which is located in the central rotor region. In order to reduce the distance between the field winding and the wedge, provision is made for the damper bar to be interrupted and to be replaced by an insulating piece (10) in the gas outlet zone (5), and for the damper bar parts (8) to be electrically conductively bridged by the wedge (15).
